5/6-MAPB - Primary or Secondary amine?

[Folley]

I've been wondering for a bit now on the Simons reaction for 5 and 6-MAPB, something that should easily clear that up if somone could confirm whether or not they are primary amines like MDA and the APBs or secondary amines like MDMA

Sec. amine.

The M stands for n-'methyl' , n-signifying part of the alkylamine sidechain, on the amino nitrogen.

Note-not tested. Just chemically speaking, how it should react accordingly.

These are secondary amines, as the methyl substitution is on the nitrogen. Please refer to the following diagrams:

As you can see with 5 or 6mapb, the nitrogen has two substitutions, the methyl group and the 'rest of the molecule', making it a secondary amine.

I'm not sure if this topic is 'advanced', as the question is pretty much resolved now. Please let me know if you'd like me to move this to ED for visibility.

Send it to the Pill Testing Q&A section, if you would be so kind.


that's what I had thought, but I didn't want to continue talking out of my ass lol. Thanks for the help
