Drug info - # 1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino)butan-1-one

[dotzwaldt]

hello everybod

i think this is my first post in here, but SMIW is a reader for a long time now
so let's have good and copious discussions.
please excuse my language sometimes, i'm from germany


Nibbler (a Cat i know) spent the last hour or so trying to identify a compound which brought absolutely noting up.
She came to it completely by a nice coincidence

so, the name is:

1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino)butan-1-one

kann anyone here explain to Nibbler what this compund is, or at least what's it like. she's guessing towards a further designed methylone but she's a complete layperson

so any info would be higly appreciated. chemical properties, pharmacologicsl properties, any experiences, pictures of the molecule or a translation to a trivial name or at least a name, so, SWIM can get some info on it by using its "real" name

and what is the butan-1-one anyway? what does this make out of a molecule?

thank you very much in advance
best regards dotzwaldt

search bk-MBDB, butylone or mebylone.

[jazzmetalguitar]

parts of that structure are similar to bk-MBDB...

all SWIM can say for sure is the butan-1-one seems to be the alkane butane converted to a ketone...which would SWIM thinks be a butylone or butyl ketone....

only chem SWIM found with butyl ketone in name was ethyl n-butyl ketone, which seems to be a drying agent for fiberglass resins or something of the sort

[trptamene]

drug info - butylone (bk-MBDB)

[jazzmetalguitar]

This drug isn't bk-MBDB though...SWIM can't figure out what it is except that it has the butyl ketone group similar to bk-MBDB

[trptamene]

What makes you say it isnt butylone?

[jazzmetalguitar]

ahh...much applause SWIM now agrees it is

always only seen it with chemical name:

2-methylamino-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)butan-1-one)

Can they be written any which way like so? (benzo still throws me off)

[trptamene]

^^not sure what exactly are asking, but

There can be many (sometimes many many) different names for a single compound. Particularly when it has found internation use as an as of yet legal drug called dubbed an "ecstasy alternative".

No-one of these is wrong or right (except for the IUPAC)...it is mostly whether it makes chemical sense or not.

I really dont like the benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl nomenclature myself...-methylenedioxyphen- makes more sense.

Its just like that methylone can be written like this:
1-(benzo[dl][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-(methylamino)-propan-1-one

Some RC companies often write new names on their producs for the customs to have problems seeing what it is (even tho the name means the same). Even tho methylone is legal in denmark, the customs sometimes stops it and hold it for ages
