Crystallographic characterization of three cathinone hydrochlorides new on the NPS market: 1‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐2‐(pyrrolidin‐1‐yl)hexan‐1‐one (4‐MPHP), 4‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐2‐(pyrrolidin‐1‐yl)pentan‐1‐one (α‐PiHP) and 2‐(methylamino)‐1‐(4‐methylphenyl)pentan‐1‐one (4‐MPD)

Cathinones belong to a group of compounds of great interest in the new psychoactive substances (NPS) market. Constant changes to the chemical structure made by the producers of these compounds require a quick reaction from analytical laboratories in ascertaining their characteristics. In this article, three cathinone derivatives were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The investigated compounds were confirmed as: 1-[1-(4-methylphenyl)-1-oxohexan-2-yl]pyrrolidin-1-ium chloride (1, C17H26NO+·Cl−, the hydrochloride of 4-MPHP), 1-(4-methyl-1-oxo-1-phenylpentan-2-yl)pyrrolidin-1-ium chloride (2; C16H24NO+·Cl−, the hydrochloride of α-PiHP) and methyl[1-(4-methylphenyl)-1-oxopentan-2-yl]azanium chloride (3; C13H20NO+·Cl−, the hydrochloride of 4-MPD). All the salts crystallize in a monoclinic space group: 1 and 2 in P21/c, and 3 in P21/n. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first detailed and comprehensive crystallographic data on salts 13.
