Abstract
As new ‘legal high’ drugs such as methylone, ethylone, mephedrone, butylone and other methcathinone analogs increase in popularity in the international market, toxicologists require certified native and labeled reference materials to accurately identify and quantify the new compounds. There have been problems with use of deuterated internal standards of these drugs due to loss of label in the GCMS fragmentation of the derivatized compound with PFPA and BSTFA.
