PeakAL: Protons I Have Known and Loved - Fifty Shades of Grey-Market Spectra. Supplementary Data

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were collected for 28 purported psychedelic phenylethanamines purchased from 15 unregulated internet vendors in North America and Europe. The samples included members of the 2C and 2C-T series, mescaline analogues, β-substituted phenylethanamines, and N-substituted compounds with NBOMe, NBOH, or NBMD moieties. Several of these spectra had not been previously reported. The study provides a reference database of NMR spectra for these substances, enabling comparison and identification of compounds sold on the grey market.

Abstract

1H NMR spectra of 28 alleged psychedelic phenylethanamines from 15 grey-market internet vendors across North America and Europe were acquired and compared. Members from each of the principal phenylethanamine families were analyzed: eleven para-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyphenylethanamines (the 2C and 2C-T series); four para-substituted 3,5-dimethoxyphenylethanamines (mescaline analogues); two β-substituted phenylethanamines; and ten N-substituted phenylethanamines with a 2-methoxybenzyl (NBOMe), 2-hydroxybenzyl (NBOH), or 2,3-methylenedioxybenzyl (NBMD) amine moiety. 1H NMR spectra for some of these compounds have not been previously reported to our knowledge. Others have reported on the composition of
