3,4-DMMC (hydrochloride) (Item No. 9001098) is a potential designer drug with combined features of amphetamines, cathinones, and phenethylamines. It is structurally related to 4-methylmethcathinone, a psychoactive compound that has been identified in products sold as bath salts and plant food. This metabolite of 3,4-DMMC features conversion of the β-keto group to β-hydroxy and is an enantiomeric mixture of the R,S and S,R orientations at carbons one and two, as in ephedrine. The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound have not been elucidated. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
