Analytical and Synthetic Studies on Designer Drugs of the Piperazine Class
This project will address issues of resolution and discriminatory capabilities in controlled substance analysis.

This project will address issues of resolution and discriminatory capabilities in controlled substance analysis providing additional reliability and selectivity for forensic evidence and analytical data on new analytes of the piperazine class. The broad objective of this research is to improve the specificity, selectivity and reliability of the analytical methods used to identify ring substituted benzylpiperazines, phenylpiperazines, benzoylpiperazines, phenethylpiperazines and related compounds. ca/ncf
