Abstract

Purpose

An amphetamine-type new psychoactive substance was identified in a fine white yellowish powder from a seizure control held in Spain in July 2017.

Methods

Seized sample was deeply characterized by standard and high-performance analytical techniques like attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography–electron ionization–mass spectrometry, high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and ion mobility spectrometry.

Results

The seized sample was identified as 3-fluoroethamphetamine hydrochloride. To our knowledge this is the first report dealing with identification and characterization of 3-fluoroethamphetamine.

Conclusions

Characterization data were compiled in order to provide the scientific community with sufficient information to allow a quick and accurate determination of 3-fluoroethamphetamine in future seizures.
