Physical constants and instrumental data (melting point [mp], thin-layer chromatography [TLC] [Rf], gas chromatography [GC] [Rt], [α]D25, 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR], infrared (IR), 70-eV, electron impact-mass spectroscopy [EI-MS], color, and microcrystalline tests) are reported for the individual stereoisomers, racemates, and corresponding hydrochloride salts of 4-methylaminorex (2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenyl-Δ2-oxazoline, 4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolamine, McN-822, “U4Euh,” “ICE”). The data allow identification and differentiation of illicit samples of 4-methylaminorex.

Methodologies are presented for the qualitative and quantitative determinations of anabolic steroids in forensic exhibits using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary gas chromatography (GC). Analyses of representative pharmaceutical dosage forms (including a commercial aqueous suspension, a commercial tablet, several commercial oil samples and various simulated dosage units) were performed using a simple, one step quantitative extraction procedure with methanol. Good agreement was obtained between all three techniques. Retention, migration and linearity data are presented and compared for over twenty anabolic steroids commonly encountered in forensic exhibits. A principal component analysis study confirmed the orthogonality of the three techniques.
