Identification of seven psychedelic 2,5-dimethoxy-phenylethyl-amine-based designer drugs via benchtop ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

The dissemination of spectral information of new psychoactive substances (NPS) acquired on benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers is of high importance considering the emerging application of such portable and accessible instruments in forensic analyses. Seven members of the 2C-X series (2C-B, 2C-C, 2C-D, 2C-E, 2C-P, 2C-T2, and 2C-T7) of NPS were analyzed via 60 MHz H-1 benchtop NMR spectroscopy and their molecular structural relations are discussed with respect to the observed proton NMR spectra.
