methcathinone – Cathinone
A stimulant alkaloid found in the shrub Catha edulis (Khat), is very similar in structure to , rare cathinone analogue, and cathinone.
the artificial stimulant methamphetamine, as well as other phenethylamines. has a single circular carbon atom, resulting in the generation of enantiomeric + and – forms.
It is simple to synthesize because the oxidation of morphine to requires little knowledge of chemistry.
The most popular oxidant is potassium permanganate (KMnO4).
methcathinone
Because of the low yields, synthesizing using either potassium permanganate or various chemicals is viewed negatively.
Used as a free base is very unstable; it easily loses its ketone state and turns back into an alcohol.
From a structural perspective, this happens when the C=O bond at the R-position is changed into a C-OH bond.
