    The clandestine synthesis of ring and side chain modified phenylisopropylamines continues to be a major source of these drugs of abuse. One method used for the synthesis of the amphetamine and related compounds involves the treatment of the appropriate ketone with formamide or ammonium formate followed by acid hydrolysis of intermediate N-formyl derivative. In this paper the synthesis of 4-methoxyamphetamine (PMA, 1) by the Leuckart method is investigated. The identification by means of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) of methoxy derivative of N-(β-phenylisopropyl)benzaldimine 9, methoxy derivative of N-(β-phenylisopropyl)benzyl methyl ketimine 5, 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-propanamine 10, (RR/SS) and (RS) 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-propanamine 6a–6c, (RR/SS) and (RS)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-N-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-propanamine 7a–7c, (RR/SS) and (RS)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-formyl-N-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-propanamine 8a–8c in crude PMA, are reported. The identity of these compounds was confirmed by independent synthesis of reference compounds. The NMR, MS, IR data, stereochemistry and some chromatographic properties of synthesized compounds are discussed. Finally, the results of the GC–MS analysis of illicitly prepared tablets, containing PMA 1 and 4-methoxymethamphetamine (PMMA, 2), are outlined. The presence of 4-methoxydimethylamphetamine 11, 4-methoxyethylamphetamine 12, and 4-hydroxymethamphetamine 13 are reported in these tablets. The identity of 2, 11, and 12 was confirmed by their independent synthesis.
