Buy Deschloroketamine (DCK) Online | Certified Reference Standards

Elite Chem Science is a premier global provider of high-purity analytical reference materials, offering fully verified Deschloroketamine (DCK) hydrochloride to academic institutions, forensic laboratories, and clinical testing facilities. As a structural analogue of ketamine, Deschloroketamine serves as a critical target analyte in novel psychoactive substance (NPS) monitoring networks, forensic screening assays, and receptor binding research.

Our deschloroketamine reference standards are synthesized under strict quality control protocols, ensuring unmatched chemical homogeneity and analytical reproducibility. Each batch undergoes rigorous characterization via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to guarantee performance integrity across diverse diagnostic frameworks.

Chemical Profile & Core Structural Data

Deschloroketamine (also known as 2′-Oxo-PCM, DXE, and O-PCM) belongs to the arylcyclohexylamine chemical class. Structurally, it consists of a cyclohexane ring substituted with a phenyl group at the C2 position, alongside a methylamino group and a ketone function (oxo group) at the C1 position.

Unlike therapeutic ketamine, Deschloroketamine completely lacks the chlorine substitution on the ortho-position of the phenyl ring. This specific structural divergence significantly impacts the compound’s thermal stability, chromatographic retention behavior, and fragmentation patterns during electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS), making certified reference standards vital for accurate qualitative profiling.

Technical Specifications

Mandatory Laboratory Safety & Regulatory Notice

Deschloroketamine (DCK) is strictly classified as an analytical reference standard and chemical reagent. This material is produced solely for in vitro laboratory evaluation, forensic verification, and scientific research applications. It is not for human or veterinary administration. Work with this substance must occur inside an approved chemical fume hood using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including nitrile gloves and HEPA-filtered respiratory protection. Compliance with all local, national, and international chemical handling protocols is mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What analytical techniques are best for identifying Deschloroketamine?

Deschloroketamine can be cleanly identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In EI-MS, it exhibits distinct fragment ions (such as the characteristic base peak reflecting the loss of the cyclohexanone ring system) that differ markedly from ketamine or 2-FDCK due to the absence of the halogen atom. High-field NMR is recommended for absolute structural confirmation.

How should DCK reference standards be stored to maximize shelf life?

To preserve the structural integrity of the crystalline matrix and prevent hygroscopic degradation, Deschloroketamine HCl must be stored at $-20^\circ\text{C}$ or $2\text{–}8^\circ\text{C}$ in its original tightly sealed container. Keep the material away from direct sunlight, ambient moisture, and incompatible oxidizing reagents.

Does Elite Chem Science provide document support for compliance?

Yes. Every order of our Deschloroketamine reference standard includes a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA) containing comprehensive analytical spectra (HPLC, MS, NMR) alongside a comprehensive Safety Data Sheet (SDS) outlining safe handling practices.
