The analytical method for N-ethyl-3, 4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (EMDA), one of the hallucinogenic phenethylamine derivatives newly controlled in Japan, was investigated in several aspects of forensic chemical analysis. The standard EMDA was synthesized from piperonylmethylketone. We analyzed EMDA, its related compounds (3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 3, 4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and ethylamphetamine (EA)) and a seized sample containing EMDA, methamphetamine and caffeine using color test, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), infrared spectrometry (IR), gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Under the analytical conditions described here, we succeeded in complete separation and identification of these drugs. It may also be possible to apply our method for the intake of drug abuse such as EMDA.
