TI  - A re-examination of the mono-methoxy positional ring isomers of amphetamine, 
      methamphetamine and phenyl-2-propanone.

AB  - Recently, tablets inscribed with the Mitsubishi 3-diamond logo, and sold as 
      3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), were found to contain 
      p-methoxymethamphetamine (PMMA), a compound with MDMA-like effects. Shortly after 
      this first submission, similarly inscribed tablets were encountered containing 
      both PMMA and p-methoxyamphetamine (PMA). This second tablet composition has been 
      implicated in several recent deaths in the US. Because two other positions are 
      available for mono-methoxy substitution on the phenyl ring, it is essential that 
      the correct identification be made for these compounds. Analytical data are 
      supplied to enable differentiation of these ring isomers as well as the ketones 
      that serve as their precursors.
