DEA list of chemicals

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [2]

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) maintains lists regarding not only the classification of illicit drugs (see DEA Schedules). It also maintains List I of chemicals and List II of chemicals, which contain chemicals which are used to manufacture the controlled substances/illicit drugs. The lists are designated within The Controlled Substances Act, Template:UnitedStatesCode, Definition 34 (list I) and 35 (list II).

Although the list is designated by the U.S. Attorney General, the list is considered a DEA list because the DEA publishes and enforces the list.

Suppliers of these products are subject to regulation and control measures.

List I chemicals[edit | edit source]

These chemicals are designated as those that are used in the manufacture of the controlled substances and are important to the manufacture of the substances.

anthranilic acid, its esters, and its salts
benzyl cyanide
ephedrine, its salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers
ergonovine and its salts
ergotamine and its salts
hydriodic acid
hypophosphorous acid and its salts (including ammonium hypophosphite, calcium hypophosphite, iron hypophosphite, potassium hypophosphite, manganese hypophosphite, magnesium hypophosphite and sodium hypophosphite)^[1]^[2]
Iodine, including elemental iodine crystals and chemical mixtures containing greater than 2.2% concentration of iodine (e.g., strong iodine tincture and Lugol's iodine)^[3]
