Abstract
Eleven side chain positional isomers of methamphetamine can be disting uished from methamphetamine using a combination of the Marquis colour test, ps chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Many of the compounds gave identical colour tests, and several had similar mass spectral fragmentation pat terns, but the combined technique of GC/MS unequivocally differentiate s all the isomers.
