Annotation

Two new designer amphetamines (4-chloro-2, 5-dimethoxyamphetamine and 2, 5-dimethoxy-4-methylthioamphetamine) were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques.

Abstract

Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NEO) difference spectra provided all the necessary structural information to identify the unknowns. Lanthanide shift reagent (LSR) studies provided an alternate method to prove positional substitution for the structures. 4 figures, 1 table, 1 reference. (Publisher abstract)
