3,4-Dichloroamphetamine (DCA), is an
Synthesis
The reaction of 3,4-Dichlorobenzyl Chloride [102-47-6] (1) with cyanide anion gives 3,4-Dichlorophenylacetonitrile [3218-49-3] (2). Reaction with sodium methoxide and
ethylacetate gives Alpha-Acetoxy-3,4-Dichlorobenzeneacetonitrile, CID:14318103 (3). Removal of the nitrile group in the presence of sulfuric acid gives 3,4-Dichlorophenylacetone [6097-32-1] (4). Oxime formation with hydroxylamine gives N-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propan-2-ylidene]hydroxylamine, CID:74315855
(5). Reduction of the oxime completed the synthesis of 3,4-Dichloroamphetamine (6).
