oxidization of psuedoephedrine

[Weston]

pseudoephedrine oxidized by potassium permanganate yields/results in via/creates Methcathinone. Methcathinone is a beta-keto N-methylamphetamine and is closely related to the naturally occurring compounds, cathinone and cathine. It is also very closely related to methamphetamine, differing by only the β-ketone substituent and differing from amphetamine by both a keto and N-methyl substituent. Its carbon skeleton is identical to pseudoephedrine and methamphetamine. It differs from pseudoephedrine in that the hydroxyl beta to the aromatic ring is oxidized to a ketone.

Can I kindly ask you to please put a bit more effort into your posts on the Nexus? When you create a new post talking about some chemical process or a tek or something of the sort, please be more diligent into its formulation and add references where necessary, as well as enough details so that anyone that isn't directly wired into your thought process can understand what you're trying to convey. We want to keep the Nexus a wonderful place full of high-quality information and intelligent discourse on all topics, and this is even a point in our Attitude Page, which I'm having to point you to for the second time. Please go through the entirety of this page for your future interactions with the forum.

Thanks for your understanding.
