Buy Eutylone (ED-DB) Reference Standards Online | Certified Purity
Elite Chem Science provides certified, high-purity Eutylone (ED-DB / bk-EBDB) analytical reference materials to support international clinical toxicology networks, forensic screening registries, and academic research into novel psychoactive substances (NPS). As an emergent synthetic stimulant of the substituted cathinone class, Eutylone serves as a critical target analyte in public health monitoring frameworks and high-resolution forensic toxicology screenings.
Our Eutylone reference standards are engineered under strict quality assurance parameters to eliminate baseline anomalies and guarantee optimal experimental reproducibility. Each production batch undergoes extensive analytical characterization via high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) validation systems.
Chemical Profile & Core Structural Data
Eutylone (systematically identified as 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(ethylamino)butan-1-one, or bk-EBDB) belongs to the substituted cathinone chemical family. Structurally, it functions as a phenethylamine core featuring an alkyl substitution at the alpha carbon alongside a ketone group at the beta position (defining the cathinone configuration). Specifically, Eutylone integrates a 3,4-methylenedioxy ring system fused to its phenyl framework, an ethyl chain at the alpha position (butyrophenone core), and an N-ethyl group on the terminal amino terminal.
This specific chain length and terminal ethylation profile differentiate Eutylone from closely related structural analogues like butylone (which features an N-methyl structure) and ephylone/N-ethyl pentylone (which features a longer valerophenone carbon backbone). In analytical environments, these precise structural modifications dictate unique gas chromatography elution patterns and distinct fragmentation parameters during electronic ionization, making high-purity reference matrices vital for isolating false-positive readouts during routine isomer distinction.

Mandatory Laboratory Safety & Regulatory Notice
Eutylone (ED-DB) is permanently classified as a Schedule I Controlled Substance in the United States and is placed under Schedule II of the UN 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances globally. This material is synthesized and distributed exclusively as an analytical reference standard and laboratory reagent for in vitro diagnostic testing, forensic profiling, and authorized institutional research. It is strictly prohibited for human, medical, therapeutic, or veterinary administration. Order fulfillment is absolutely contingent upon authorization verification, including valid DEA registrations, regional scheduled substance credentials, and certified international import/export documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What analytical markers identify Eutylone during forensic mass spectrometry screening?
Under standard electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS), Eutylone routinely undergoes alpha-cleavage between the carbonyl carbon and the alpha-amino carbon. This generates a dominant, highly characteristic amino-alkyl base peak at m/z 86 ($[CH(C_2H_5)=NH(C_2H_5)]^+$). Accompanying diagnostic acylium ion fragments are visibly observed at m/z 149 (the piperonyloyl/benzodioxolyl acylium core) and m/z 121 (following subsequent decarbonylation), allowing clean differentiation from butylone or pentylone.
How should Eutylone analytical reference standards be stored to guarantee shelf life?
To mitigate ambient degradation, prevent beta-keto reduction pathways, and protect against hygroscopic moisture accumulation, Eutylone hydrochloride must be stored inside a secure laboratory freezer at or below $-20^\circ\text{C}$. Ensure the storage container remains tightly sealed under an inert gas blanket and is safely shielded from direct UV exposure.
What certification documentation accompanies an Elite Chem Science Eutylone shipment?
Every reference standard shipped by Elite Chem Science is supported by an exhaustive, lot-specific quality control portfolio. This includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documenting high-field Proton NMR spectra, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) purity data logs, and an operational Safety Data Sheet (SDS) outlining protective handling protocols.
