[Studies on the identification of psychotropic substances (VII). Preparation and various analytical data of standard references of some hallucinogens, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 5-methoxy-3,4- methylenedioxyamphetamine (MMDA)].

The Reference Standards of 3, 4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 5-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MMDA) were prepared. Their purities determined by HPLC were 99.8% for DMA hydrochloride, 99.8% for MDMA hydrochloride and 99.5% for MMDA hydrochloride. For the identification and determination, various analytical data of the three drugs were measured and studied by TLC, UV, IR, HPLC, GC/MS and NMR.
