Production & Manufacture |
Methcathinone is most commonly made by the oxidation of ephedrine. Oxidation of ephedrine to methcathinone requires almost zero chemistry experience, making it easy to synthesize. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is most the commonly used as the oxidant.
Methcathinone can also be synthesized via the oxidation of l-ephedrine using sodium dichromate and sulfuric acid. This process is just as simple as oxidizing the ephedrine with potassium permanganate.
Synthesizing methcathinone from either potassium permanganate or various chromates is considered undesirable because of the low yields. A method that yields more methcathinone is oxidizing ephedrine with sodium hypochlorite.

Effects Description |
Methcathinone is very similar in structure to cathinone, a stimulant alkaloid occurring in the shrub Catha edulis (Khat), the synthetic stimulant methamphetamine, and other phenethylamines.
The effects of methcathinone are similar to those of methamphetamine, but generally less intense, and often more euphoric. Methcathinone's effects have also been characterized as 'somewhat less intense than methamphetamine', and 'between caffiene and methamphetamine'.
