Methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Uses
Benzeneacetic acid, a-acetyl-, methyl ester can be used as a pharmaceutical raw material.
Description
Methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate is an analytical reference standard categorized as a precursor in the synthesis of amphetamines and methamphetamines. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing the control of the chemical methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate (also known as MAPA; methyl 3-oxo-2-phenylbutanoate; methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate; [alpha]-acetyl-benzeneacetic acid, methyl ester; and CAS Number: 16648-44-5) and its optical isomers as a list I chemical under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate is used in clandestine laboratories to illicitly manufacture the schedule II controlled substances phenylacetone (also known as phenyl-2-propanone or P2P), methamphetamine, and amphetamine and is important to the manufacture of these controlled substances.
Description
Methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate (Item No. 28352) is an analytical reference standard categorized as a precursor in the synthesis of amphetamines and methamphetamines. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
Uses
D1, D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; butyrophenone antipsychotic and anti-emetic. Droperidol is a potent antagonist of dopamine subtype 2 receptor. It is an antipsychotic, which is used to treat acute behavioral anomalies. It helps to manage postoperative nausea and vomiting. Endogenous κ1b opioid receptor agonist.
Preparation
Methyl phenyldiazoacetate, precursor to cyclopropanation agents, is prepared by treating methyl phenylacetate with p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide in the presence of base.
