Abstract
This study examines the electron impact (EI) induced mass spectrometric behavior of several N, N-di-(β-arylisopropyl)formamides, which are connected to the Leuckart synthesis of some amphetamine analogues. Emphasis is laid on the fragmentation paths, which are common for all compounds under investigation and may be used in construction of the prediction scheme useful for identification of similar impurities, especially in absence of desirable authentic material. On the basis of this scheme several new N, N-di-(β-arylisopropyl)formamides have been identified in selected amphetamine analogues synthesized by the Leuckart method, including 4-methylthioamphetamine (4-MTA), 4-fluoroamphetamine (4-FA), 4-methylamphetamine, 3-trifluoromethylamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (2,5-DMA), 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamines (2-TMA and 3-TMA).
