3-methyl-α-Pyrrolidinopropiophenone (hydrochloride)

The α-pyrrolidinophenones (α-PPPs) are a class of designer drugs, typified by α-PPP and 4-methyl-α-PPP .^1,2,3 Although structurally related to amphetamines and cathinones, the pharmacology and toxicology of members of this class have not been elucidated.⁴ 3-methyl-α-PPP is a structural isomer of 4-methyl-α-PPP, having the methyl group at the 3 position, rather than the 4 position, of the phenyl group. This product is intended for forensic and research applications.
