Abstract: This review focuses on synthesis of amphetamine. The chemistry of these methods will be discussed, referenced and precursors highlighted. This review covers the period 1985 to 2009 with emphasis on stereoselective synthesis, classical non-chiral synthesis and bio-enzymatic reactions. The review is directed to the Forensic Community and thus highlights precursors, precursors, reagents, stereochemistry, stereochemistry, type and name reactions. The article attempts to present, as best as possible, a list of references covering amphetamine synthesis from 1900 -2009. Although this is the same fundamental ground as the recent publication by K. Norman; “Clandestine Laboratory Investigating Chemist Association” 19, 3(2009)2-39, this current review offers another pe rspective. Keywords: Review, Stereoselective, Amphetamine, Syntheses, references,
Introduction: It has been 20 years since our last review of the synthetic literature for the manufacture of amphetamine and methamphetamine. Much has changed in the world of organic transformation transformation in this time period. Chiral (stereoselective) (stereoselective) synthetic reactions have moved to the forefront of organic transformations and these stereoselective reactions, as well as regio-reactions and biotransformations will be the focus of this review. Within the synthesis of amphetamine, these stereoselective stereoselective transformations have taken the form of organometallic reactions, enzymatic reactions, ring openings, aminooxylations, alkylations alkylations and amination reactions. The earlier review J. (J. Forensic Sci. Int. 42(1989)183-189) addressed 42(1989)183-189) addressed for the most part, the ―reductive ―reductive‖‖ synthetic methods leading to this this drug of abuse. It could be said that the earlier review dealt with ―classical ―classical organic transformations,‖ transformations,‖ roughly roughly covering the period from 1900-1985. This time-line is graphically illustrated illustrated below in Figure 1. As illustrated in this figure, figure, certain categories have been historically active. Early synthetic organic transformations such as aldol condensations, the Hofmann rearrangement [105, 116], the Curtius rearrangement [118, 110, 80], the Schmidt rearrangement [80], the Lossen rearrangement [118], the Beckmann rearrangement [111], the Wolff rearrangement [109], the Friedel-Craft alkylation [102, 105] together with catalytic reductions; populated the literature from 1900-1985. Of course, overlap overlap has occurred between these categories as the field of organic chemistry has progressed. Interestingly, organic synthetic transformations have entered, in the last 20 years, a period of ― stereoselective stereoselective organic transformation”. transformation”. This is graphically illustrated in Figure 1a. The multiplicity of these transformations and their unique starting precursors precursors and reagents may come as a challenge to the forensic community to keep up with the latest organic modifications and ―off -precursor-watch-list‖ -precursor-watch-list‖ circumventions. Herein, we hope to summarize as exhaustively as possible, the chemistry pictorially and compose a
list of precursor chemicals (IUPAC nomenclature, see supplemental material ) that address these transformations to amphetamine. The Era of Classical Organic Chemistry

Overview: In this reviewing period (1985-2009), with progress in stereoselective syntheses and organometallic transformations, academia, along with private industry have been motivated to explore new approaches to the synthesis of amphetamine. These numerous publications have undoubtedly undo ubtedly been prompted more b y the introduction of a chiral center cente r alpha to a primary amine than the desire to add yet another synthetic approach to the multitude of synthetic routes to amphetamine. Organometallic chemistry has been used in creative region-constructions of amphetamine, not only with magnesium metal [21, 15], but also with cerium [49], titanium [26], iridium [1] and lithium [1]. [1]. Similarly, in in the area of organometallic reductions to amphetamine, the field of reagents has expanded to include samarium iodide [4, 6, 9], ruthenium-(chiral-ligands) [18, 20, 36, 41], rhodium-(chiral ligands) [51], titanium-ligands [26], copper [32, 17], magnesium [32] and novelties with borane [33, 42, 56], lithium aluminum hydride [12, 35, 47], L-Selectride [25], Red-Al® [46],
palladium [11, 14, 16, 23, 27, 40, 50, 53] and Raney nickel [33, 49 50]. Creative synthetic routes that do not employ a reductive step have also been published [15, 17, 21, 28, 31, 37, 55, 58]. Ring opening strategies have been developed against phosphorylated aziridines [31] and Sharpless epoxides [5] to yield amphetamine. Mitsunobu transformations [5, 8, 14, 19, 34] have been exploited in a variety of approaches to swap an alcohol precursor precursor to the amine complement toward amphetamine. Hofmann, Curtius [37, 80], Lossen[37] and Schmidt rearrangement [80] continue to be used in synthetic schemes to produce amphetamine. The ―classical‖ Friedel-Craft Friedel-Craft alkylation [105] of benzene with iron or aluminum trichloride has been improved with the use of N (trifluoroacetyl)- (trifluoroacetyl)--amino acid chloride as a chiral F-C reagent to manufacture amphetamine [55]. Intermediates of nitrostyrene have been reduced chirally and nonchirally to amphetamine [4, 12, 18, 20, 35, 41, 42, 56]. Likewise, hydroxylamine hydroxylamine via chiral hydrosilylation [51] and hydrazines [8, 52] have been exploited in routes to amphetamine. Reductive aminations via phenyl-2-propanone; P-2-P [19, 40, 51, 54] have appeared in these years, as well as other creative approaches like -amination [5], alkyne-amination [26], alkene-amination [27], -aminooxylation [5], electrophilic aminations [15], and sulfinyl-imine amination [17]. Photochemical-induced racemization has been utilized for the transformation of the less pharmacologically active R active R isomer isomer to an equilibrium mix of R,S of R,S -amphetamine -amphetamine [2]. Improved resolution resolution from racemic mixture of amphetamine to a single isomer has been achieved with ―enzymat ―enzymatic ic transformations‖ [3, 10, 22, 24, 43] and ―classical organic salts resolutions‖ [37, [37, 47]. Illustrated in Figure 1a and 1b are the histograms and citations for some of the active categories within the transformations to amphetamine between 1985-2009. The activities of stereoselectivity, resolutions and enzymatic transformations are expressly evident.

Discussion of Stereoselective Syntheses of Amphetamine 1985-2009: Illustrated in Scheme 2, routes 2A-2Q, repressent the multitude of stereoselective approaches to amphetamine published between 1985 – 2009. Within this illustrated pinwheel of reaction routes, we have arranged references in reverse chronological order – clockwise [#‘s]. As a starting point for discussion, take the Schiff base (1-phenylpropan2-imine, route 2A) as a chiral approach to amphetamine [1, 36, 51, 54]. This approach has been facilitated by the improvements of chiral organometallic ligands with transition metals in order to effect chiral catalytic reductions [1, 36, 51, 54, route 2A]. Similarly, armed with chiral organometallic ligands with ruthenium and rhodium, the reduction of nitrostyrenes [( E )-(2-nitroprop-1-enyl)benzene] have been achieved stereoselectively [18, 20, 41; route 2F]. A completely different approach was taken by Talluri, S. et. al.; [routes 2B-E], wherein they initiated the route to amphetamine from 1-phenylpropanal [5, route 2E]. Starting from this one-carbon extended aldehyde as opposed to the typical 2 phenylacetaldehyde [17, 49; route 2K] or benzaldehyde [47, 80, 89, 92, 95, 110; route 5Z, also implicit in 18, 20, 41, 42, 44, 56, 60, 39, 54, 61, 35, 22, 20, 18, 12, 4.57, 85, 84, 75, 74, 70, 67, 62, 94, 87, 86, 113, 114; route 5A] precursor, these workers preformed a chiral oxy-alkylation with nitrosobenzene to (R)-3-phenylpropan-1,2-diol [5, route 2C2D]. Tosyl chloride assisted ring closure lead to the epoxide, 2-benzyloxirane [5, route 2B]. Reductive ring opening of the epoxide produced the alcohol, (S )-1-phenylpropan-2ol; [see structure in route 2I]. This was followed by swapping the alcohol moiety for azide. The final step was catalytic (PtO2) reduction to amphetamine [5]. Although a lengthy process to amphetamine, its potential importance to forensic chemists lies in the fact that each intermediate is a potential starting precursor for a chiral synthesis to amphetamine. Closely allied to the alcohol-azide swap in the previous route are the variations achieved by Mitusnobu reaction-type exchanges from ( R)-1-phenylpropan-2-ol to (S )-1-phenylpropan-2-NX, wherein inversion of configuration is complete to the amine compliment [8, 14, 19, 5, 34; route 2I and route 2P]. Chiral starting materials like phenylpropanolamine [11, 23, 29, 40, 53; route 2H] and phenylalanine [33, 25, 6, 9, 44; route 2O and route 2G] have been easy targets for precursors to the stereoselective synthesis of amphetamine. The routes from phenylalanine are variations on J.W. Wilson‘s original article from 1977 [84; route 6BB] utilizing alternative reagents for the reduction of the carboxylic acid, alcohol to halide swap, reduction of the alkyl halide and BOC deprotection. In the case of phenylpropanolamine as precursor, earlier literature [40,53, route 6P] make use of the chloro-pseudonorephedrine intermediate, as most typically seen in clandestine laboratories, however more recent literature [11, 23, route 6P] makes use of
acetic anhydride to yield the ester for catalytic reductive removal of the OH moiety to amphetamine. Creative chiral scaffolding has been used to introduce stereoselectivity early in the amphetamine synthesis [17, 49, 21; routes 2M, 2N and 2K]. These unique approaches start with the achiral, off-listed precursors, benzylbromide [21, route 1N] or 2-phenylacetaldehyde [17, 49, route 2K]. The stereoselectivity is introduced and controlled by simpler commercially available chiral directors. Interestingly, the Hofmann rearrangement, which retains stereoselectivity, was utilized at the end of route 2M [21] with the modern uses of hypervalent iodine [21]. Another older ―classical synthesis‖ improvement was profiled in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene through the use of chiral (s)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)propanoyl chloride [55, route 2Q].

Scheme 3. Discussion of Non-Chiral Syntheses of Amphetamine 1985-2009: Non-chiral syntheses of amphetamine (Scheme 3, routes 3A-N) have also appeared in the literature; 1985-2009 . These variations are graphically illustrated in Scheme 3 and represent 25 individual citations. As described above with regards to chiral routes, the Mitsunobu type reaction chemistry has been exploited in 3 different non-chiral routes, each starting from racemic 1-phenylpropan-2-ol [13, 17, 28; route 3A and 3D]. Achiral reductions of nitrostryene to amphetamine were the most popular approaches in this time period [4, 12, 35, 42, 46, 47, 56; route 3B]. These citations are
primarily in the course of building pharmaceutical analogs / research. Organo-metallic (Grignard or lithium alkylation) reactions were used in a variety of alkylation reactions to amphetamine [15, 31, 52; route 3C, 3G and 3N]. These variations include Grignard ring opening of a phosphorylated-aziridine (nucleophilic ring-opening of N -phosphorylated aziridines) [31; route 3G], reaction with an electron deficient oxime (electrophilic amination of Grignard reagent) [15; route 3C], and lithium alkylation of an -amino carbanion equivalent reaction [52; route 3N]. The amination of allylbenzene was affected in a base-catalyzed hydroamination reaction [27; route 3E]. This reaction is similar in precursor and product, however different in mechanism to the 1982 phosphoramidomercuration-demercuration of allylbenzene to amphetamine [58; route 6U]. Amination with a commercially available -aminodiphenylmethane, which serves as an ammonia equivalent, was used for the hydroamination of 1-phenyl-1-propyne to amphetamine [26; route 3F]. Several citations occurred in the literature for the reductive amination of P-2-P to amphetamine [32, 22, 40; route 3H]. The classical malonic ester synthesis was used to construct 2-methyl-3-phenyl propanoic acid [37, route 3I] which was then converted to amphetamine via a Curtius rearrangement / hydrolysis [37]. A similar classical reaction, that of a Claisen / Dieckmann condensation, utilizing a benzylnitrile analog was used to construct a P-2-P complement [45; route 3K]. This analog was converted to the oxime, followed by reduction and de-sulfuration with sodium / ethanol to amphetamine [45; route 3K]. Finally, O-methoxy-oxime of P-2-P was reduced with Red-Al® to yield amphetamine with marginal success [48; route 3M].
Scheme 4.
Discussion of Enzymatic, Photo-induced and Chemical Manipulation of Amphetamine Isomers: 1985-2009 Biotransformations have increased in interest, proof of concept and patent applications from 1985-2009 . Illustrated in Scheme 4 are the citations within this topic regarding amphetamine isomers. Both phenyl-2-propanone [14, 43; route 4A] and the nitrostyrene, ( E )-1-(2-nitroprop-1-enyl)benzene [39,48; route 4C] have been used as starting points to the enzymatic synthesis to amphetamine. Alternatively, biotransformations of racemic amphetamine leading to the exclusion or enhancement of one isomer (enhanced ee) have been published or patented [3, 10, 22, 24, 29, 43; route 4B]. Conversely, one citation [2; route 4D] describes the photochemically inducedradical mediated racemization of the single amphetamine isomer to the racemic mixture. Classical methods of chiral resolution based upon chiral organic salts have been reported in the time frame of 1900-2009, with the use of D-(-)-tartaric acid [30, 47, 38, 71, 81a, 88, 90, 108], benzoyl-d-tartaric acid [38], di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid [38], (S)-2naphthylglycolic acid [66], -amino acids [78] and optical-10-camphorsulfonyl chloride [37].
Organic Transformation from 1900 -2009 : Classical Organic Transformation in the Early 1900-1950‘s:
Scheme 5. Classical Organic Transformation in the Early 1900-1950‘s: The early literature regarding amphetamine synthesis of the 1900‘s was dominated by classical organic transformations (Scheme 5). These reactions like the Friedel-Crafts reaction [105,], Ritter Reaction [102], Leuckart reductive amination reaction [106, 97, 76, 71], nitro-aldol dehydration reaction, also called the Henry Reaction [116, 96, 94, 89, 87, 86, 85, 82, 70, 67] and rearrangement reactions that came to be known as the Hofmann rearrangement[105, 116], Curtius rearrangement [118, 110, 80], Schmidt rearrangement [80], Lossen rearrangement [118], Beckmann rearrangement [111] and the Wolff rearrangement [109], were productive routes to the synthesis of amphetamine. The non-amine component, -methylbenzylacetic acid, was constructed with carbon-carbon bond formation via a carbo-anion enolate condensed with a suitable alkylhalide. These condensations, that were classically referred to as acetoacetic ester synthesis [105, 118] and malonic ester synthesis [91], later came to be referred to as cases of the Claisen condensation. In the case of phenylacetonitrile (benzylnitrile) [107], the acidity of the central methylene hydrogens between the nitrile and aromatic ring, are used for abstraction and carbo-anion production before alkylhalide reaction. Organic Transformation in the Early 1950-1985s: Moving forward in time, from the period dominated by ―classical organic transformations‖ (1900-1950), we enter a period for amphetamine synthesis that saw expanded interest in dissolved metal reductions and early chiral constructions. This time frame (1950-1985 ) was the focus of our previous review ( J. Forensic Sci. Int. 42, (1989) 183-189)) and hightlighted catalytic reductions, dissolving metal reductions and metal
hydride reduction leading to amphetamine. It was during this period that chiral complement to the Friedel-Crafts reaction was introduced for the synthesis of amphetamine [55]. Amination of a double bond was improved with the use of diethyl phosphoramidate [58], as well as acetonitrile mercuration [69] each leading to amphetamine. Reductive amination with (R)-1-phenylethanamine on the Schiff-base of phenyl-2-propanone followed by diasteroisomeric separation allowed for a chiral synthesis of amphetamine [64]. Later (1977, 1978), two chiral syntheses to amphetamine were published starting from D-phenylalanine [84a, 84b].
Summary: As best as possible the authors have attempted to summarize the synthetic transformations published within the period 1900-2009 , with emphasis upon 1985-2009 . The complete visual precursor / references to amphetamine pin-wheel is illustrated in Scheme 6 and is intended for the forensic chemist as a complete map of amphetamine routes / literature. These individual reactions are broken out, expanded and illustrated with added nomenclature in the supplemental material. Furthermore, precursor names via IUPAC (ChemDraw, Cambridge Software) are tabulated for the non-chemist with cross reference to literature citations.
