Uses
Benzeneacetic acid, a-acetyl-, methyl ester can be used as a pharmaceutical raw material.
Description
Methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate is an analytical reference standard categorized as a precursor in the synthesis of amphetamines and methamphetamines. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing the control of the chemical methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate (also known as MAPA; methyl 3-oxo-2-phenylbutanoate; methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate; [alpha]-acetyl-benzeneacetic acid, methyl ester; and CAS Number: 16648-44-5) and its optical isomers as a list I chemical under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate is used in clandestine laboratories to illicitly manufacture the schedule II controlled substances phenylacetone (also known as phenyl-2-propanone or P2P), methamphetamine, and amphetamine and is important to the manufacture of these controlled substances.
