Cathodic behavior of 4,5‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitroamphetamine

Abstract

The amphetamine derivative 4,5‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitrophenyl‐2‐aminopropane, a positional isomer of the potent hallucinogen DON, was studied by cyclic voltammetry and polarography. The nitro compound was reduced to the corresponding hydroxylamine under the experimental conditions used.
