PCP has many analogs. Research two PCP analogs and write up a synthesis route for each. Include information about precursor availability, by products, yield, difficulty of reaction, and hazards.
PCPs are drugs called as arylcyclohexylamines.
used as a surgical anaesthetic in both humans and veterinary practice,
They are not currently manufactured and has been placed under Schedule II of the Controlled Substance Act in the US.
PCP analogues:
ketamine, tiletamine, PCPy, TCP, and PCE, as well as TCPy
synthesis route ketamine
precursor availability == cyclohexanone, methylamine and chloro- benzonitrile easy available in alternative forms and produce a long effect
by-products= impurities amphetamine, methamphetamine
yield = 60%
the difficulty of reaction = production is difficult so production through the illicit market is reduced
and hazards = out of 10 it is rated 2
