Ethylone (hydrochloride) polymorph B is an analytical reference standard that is structurally categorized as a cathinone. Ethylone can exist in two conformations (polymorphs) at the C-C bond linking the side chain to the aromatic ring.
1 These polymorphs are identical by mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), but differ when analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), FT-Raman, X-ray diffraction, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
2 The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound are not known. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
