From the August 2007 Microgram: - INTELLIGENCE ALERT - "BROMO DRAGONFLY" (BROMO-BENZODIFURANYL-ISOPROPYLAMINE) IN ASHLAND, OREGON [size=-1]The Oregon State Police Central Point Laboratory recently received a small amber dropper bottle containing approximately 3 milliliters of a clear colorless liquid, submitted as “Bromo” and suspected to be a solution of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine (DOB) (no photos). The exhibit was seized at a residence in Ashland, Oregon by the Ashland Police, pursuant to a consent search. A small amount of marijuana and a set of scales were also seized. The solution was determined to be aqueous, with a pH of approximately 5. Analysis by GC/MS, UV/Vis, and FTIR/ATR, however, indicated not DOB but rather bromo-benzodifuranyl-isopropylamine (also known as “Bromo Dragonfly”; see Figure 1). The identification was not confirmed due to lack of a standard; however, the mass spectrum matched the literature. The solution was not quantitated but was a moderate loading based on the TIC. This is the first submission of this type to the Oregon State Police laboratory system.[/size] [size=-1]Figure 1 - “Bromo Dragonfly” (1-(8-Bromobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']difuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane C13H12BrNO2; mw = 294.14[/size] [size=-1][Editor’s Notes: Currently, there is only sparse information available on this compound. It is allegedly a long-lasting, DOB-like hallucinogen with a dosage unit of approximately 0.5 milligrams. In contrast to most amphetamine-like compounds, the R configuration is reportedly the more active enantiomer. This is the first report of this compound in Microgram[/size] I enjoy the last paragraph
