New street analogs of phencyclidine

Abstract In the Summer of 1989 two new street analogs of phencyclidine (PCP) appeared in Canada. Analysis showed these to possess a benzyl and 4-methylphenyl moiety, respectively in place of the phenyl group of PCP itself. For the sake of completeness, we have synthesized the 2-methylphenyl and 3-methylphenyl isomers, also in the expectation that these compounds themselves may at some point appear on the illicit market. The UV, IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and GC MS spectra are published here.
