Abstract
The use of infrared spectroscopy for the identification of psychotomimetic derivatives of amphetamine and tryptamine is discussed. Numerous characteristic absorptions are assigned on the basis of spectra recorded from 123 bases and salts. These permit the recognition of compounds of these types even when no reference materials or spectra are available. Distinction between the spectra of optically active and racemic forms of some amphetamine derivatives is also possible.
