โฆ Synopsis
The enantiomeric characterization of methamphetamine is readily accomplished by 'H-NMR analysis of the diastereomers formed by derivatization with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetylcetyl-8-D glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GITC). The stereospecific chemical shifts of a host of signals from the GITC moiely provide sites for both qualitative and quantitative consideration. These shifts were found to be unsffected over a wide range of product concentration. Further, experimental data indicate a lack of stereoselectivity in the formation of these diastereomers. Application of the technique to a commercial (-)methamphetamine inhalant, previously analyzed by HPLC, confirmed both the presence and proportion of (+)methamphetamine, a controlled substance.
