Introduction
This EUDA Precursor Assessment Report examines the evidence on phenyl-2-nitropropene, evaluating its licit use in the EU and the extent of its use in illicit production.
Phenyl-2-nitropropene is a chemical precursor used for the production of amphetamine – a phenethylamine stimulant drug. Amphetamine has been under international control since 1971. It is present on the global drug market in different forms and is one of the most common synthetic stimulants available in Europe.
This document was prepared at the request of the European Commission, pursuant to the Regulation (EU) 2023/1322 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2023 on the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1920/2006(1), particularly the Article 14 (2).
The document available here is a redacted version of the original precursor assessment report. Sections that contain detailed methodology or technical information that could be misused to enable illicit synthesis have been withheld in the interest of public safety.
