4'-fluoro-α-Pyrrolidinopropiophenone (hydrochloride) (Synonyms: 4'-fluoro-α-PPP)

The α-pyrrolidinophenones (α-PPPs) are a class of designer drugs, typified by α-PPP and 4-Me-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 4'-fluoro-α-PPP is a derivative of α-PPP, characterized by the addition of a fluorine group at the 4 position of the phenyl ring. The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound are not known. This product is intended for forensic and research applications.
