(1) Actual retention times may vary depending on individual GC column and GC conditions. Gas chromatographic conditions used are on p. 9106-1. The mass spectrometer was operated under the conditions given on p 9106-1 (or see the Backup Data Report [1].) (2) GC peak numbers represent peaks as numbered in Figure 1. (3) Use extracted ion chromatograms of the primary ions (1’) for quantifying peaks in either the scan mode or the SIM mode. Use the secondary and tertiary ions (2’ and 3’) for qualitative identification when necessary. These ions are selected for nearness to the primary ion to minimize false negatives from skewed spectra and from low mass interference from hydrocarbons. (4) Not all forms are presented. Parent compounds are not presented that have irregular or overly broad GC peak shapes under the GC conditions used. Spectra for chlorodifluoroacetyl derivatives are given in the Backup Data Report [1] (5) Retention time relative to 4,4’-dibromooctafluorobiphenyl. (6) Retention time relative to the chlorodifluoroacetyl derivative of methamphetamine. (7) I$ = Internal standard. (8) Intentional or unintentional adulterants. For example, phentermine may be added to MDMA and caffeine added to methamphetamine. Chlorpheniramine is an unintentional adulterant when pseudoephedrine containing chlorpheniramine is used as a methamphetamine precursor. (9) Presence of (+)-Norephedrine, N-methylpseudoephedrine and/or N-methylephedrine in pseudoephedrine or ephedrine indicates extracts of Ephedra species (spp.) as source. Presence of amphetamine and N,N-dimethylamphetamine in methamphetamine final product also indicates the same source.[18, 19, 20] (10) 4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (11) Typical “club drugs” (piperazine analogs as ecstasy substitutes, ketamine and flunitrazepan as predatory drugs).
