Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Determination of the organic compounds during the synthesis of MDMA in illicit ecstasy samples. METHODS: The samples used in this study were ecstasy tablets caught and delivered to Ankara Criminal Police Laboratory by Police Forces. Aqueous suspensions of sample tablets were extracted to clarify their organic contents with different solvents like chloroform, diethyl ether, dichloromethane, toluene, benzene and ethyl acetate at different PH s. The solutions of the tablets qualitative analysis were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS: It was concluded that during synthesis of the MDMA, the best pH was 11 for occurring midproducts and coproducts, and the best solvent was found as diethyl ether which separated more analytes than the other organic solvents. CONCLUSION: In this study, the molecular definition of occurring midproducts and coproducts during production of MDMA were determinated with using GC-MS. As a result the production method of MDMA and the organic contents of ecstasy tablets were obtained by this study.
Özet
AMAÇ: Ekstazi tabletlerindeki MDMAnın sentezi esnasında oluşan organik içeriklerinin belirlenmesidir. YÖNTEMLER: Bu çalışmada kullanılan örnekler, Polis tarafından yakalanarak Ankara Kriminal Polis Laboratuvarına getirilen Ekstazi tabletleridir. Organik içeriklerin belirlenmesinde tabletlerden alınan örneklerin sulu süspansiyonları kloroform, dietileter, diklorometan, toluen, benzen ve etil asetat gibi farklı çözücüler ile farklı pHlarda özütlenerek GC-MS ile nitel analizleri yapıldı. BULGULAR: MDMA sentezi sırasında oluşan ara ve yan bileşenler için en uygun pHnın 11 olduğu ve organik çözücülerden en uygun çözücünün ise en fazla bileşenin ayrılabildiği dietileter olduğu belirlendi. SONUÇ: MDMAnın sentezi sırasında kullanılan hammadde, oluşan ara ve yan ürünlerin GC-MS ile moleküler tanımlamaları yapıldı. Sonuç olarak, MDMAnın üretim yöntemi ve ekstazi tabletlerinin organik içeriğine ait bilgiler elde edilmiştir
