Amphetaminil (Aponeuron, AN-1) is a stimulant drug derived from amphetamine, which was developed in the 1970s and used for the treatment of obesity,[1] ADHD,[2][3] and narcolepsy.[4] It has largely been withdrawn from clinical use following problems with abuse.[5]

Stereochemistry

Amphetaminil is a molecule with two stereogenic centers. Thus, four different stereoisomers exist:

  • (R)-2-[(R)-1-Phenylpropan-2-ylamino]-2-phenylacetonitrile (CAS-Nr. 478392-08-4)
  • (S)-2-[(S)-1-Phenylpropan-2-ylamino]-2-phenylacetonitrile (CAS-Nr. 478392-12-0)
  • (R)-2-[(S)-1-Phenylpropan-2-ylamino]-2-phenylacetonitrile (CAS-Nr. 478392-10-4)
  • (S)-2-[(R)-1-Phenylpropan-2-ylamino]-2-phenylacetonitrile (CAS-Nr. 478392-14-2)

Synthesis

It is synthesized by forming the Schiff's base of amphetamine with benzaldehyde, and then nucleophilic attack on the latter with cyanide anion.[6]
