Summary
AI-generated from the abstractBenchtop NMR spectroscopy at 60 MHz can distinguish seven members of the 2C-X series of new psychoactive substances (2C-B, 2C-C, 2C-D, 2C-E, 2C-P, 2C-T2, and 2C-T7) based on their proton NMR spectra. The molecular structural relationships among these compounds are reflected in their spectral patterns, supporting the use of portable benchtop NMR instruments for forensic drug identification.

Abstract
The dissemination of spectral information of new psychoactive substances (NPS) acquired on benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers is of high importance considering the emerging application of such portable and accessible instruments in forensic analyses. Seven members of the 2C-X series (2C-B, 2C-C, 2C-D, 2C-E, 2C-P, 2C-T2, and 2C-T7) of NPS were analyzed via 60 MHz 1 H benchtop NMR spectroscopy and their molecular structural relations are discussed with respect to the observed proton NMR spectra.
