Clandestine Manufacture of Substances under International Control







		Clandestine Manufacture of Substances under International Control This manual has been prepared as a working reference tool for use by national law enforcement authorities and personnel of drug testing laboratories, drawing on reviews supplied by national authorities as well as on available literature. The manual consists of three parts. 1. The first part contains monographs of the substances under international control that are produced/manufactured in clandestine laboratories. Each monograph consists of the name and chemical structure of the substance, its control status and the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS number) of the most commonly available base and salt forms. The monograph lists the main precursor chemicals/raw materials required for the production of the respective substance and, if relevant, details are provided for the production/manufacture of the important precursors employed. The monographs also include links to synthesis/processing schemes and appropriate citations for each substance. 2. The second part of the manual consists of a series of tables which enable the cross referencing of the precursors/raw materials and chemicals/reagents used to manufacture the substances under international control included in this manual. This data is provided to support the investigation of clandestine laboratories by both law enforcement and laboratory personnel. Table 1 Substances most frequently used in the clandestine production/manufacture of drugs under international control Table 2 Precursors/raw materials frequently used in the clandestine production/ manufacture of drugs under international control Table 3 Chemicals/reagents frequently used in the clandestine production/manufacture of drugs under international control 3. Part three of the manual contains the synthesis/processing schemes for the substances under international control most frequently produced/manufactured in clandestine laboratories. Where applicable, synthetic schemes are also provided for important precursor substances and are referenced in each case to a paper published in a peer reviewed journal or official technical documentation. An addendum to the manual on the Clandestine Manufacture of Substances under International Control (ST/NAR/10/Rev.3/Add.1) is in response to the scheduling decisions of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs from 2015-2017.
