4-Dimethylamino-4-(p-tolyl)cyclohexanone (sometimes known as dimetamine)[1] is a narcotic analgesic with an arylcyclohexylamine chemical structure. It was developed by Daniel Lednicer at Upjohn in the 1970s.[2] It has around the same analgesic potency as morphine, with analogues where the p-methyl group is replaced by chlorine or bromine being slightly weaker. However derivatives where the ketone group has been reacted with a Grignard reagent to add a phenethyl substitution are several hundred times stronger, and in this series it is the bromo compound BDPC that is the most potent.[3][4][5]
Legal Status
4-Dimethylamino-4-(p-tolyl)cyclohexanone is specifically listed as an illegal drug in Latvia.[6] It is also covered by drug analogue laws in various jurisdictions as a generic arylcyclohexylamine derivative.
