Characteristics And Features Of The Expert Research On α-Bromovalerophenone (2-bromo-1- phenylpentan-1-one)

Abstract

The research paper discusses methods of expert research on objects containing α-bromovalerophenone. Recently, there has been an increase in the facts of detection of places of unregulated (illegal) manufacture of PVP psychotropic substance with the seizure of large amount of initial reagents for its synthesis. One of these substances, which is used for the synthesis of PVP as well as pentedrone psychotropic substance, is α-bromovalerophenone. Identification of -bromovalerophenone by methods of qualitative color reactions, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography with mass-selective detection (GC-MS), molecular spectroscopy in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, and also by X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis (XRF) is outlined.
