GC-MS and GC-IR Analyses of the Methoxy-1-n-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)-indoles: Regioisomeric Designer Cannabinoids

. . Thaxton-Weissenfluh A, Belal TS, DeRuiter J, Smith F, Abiedalla Y, Neel L, Abdel-Hay KM, Clark CR. . J Chromatogr Sci. 2018 Oct 1;56(9):779-788. doi: 10.1093/chromsci/bmy059. Abstract The indole ring regioisomeric methoxy-1-n-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)-indoles represent indole ring-substituted analogs of the synthetic cannabinoid JWH-018. The electron ionization mass spectra show equivalent regioisomeric major fragments resulting from cleavage …
