Mephedrone, also known as 4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC), is a synthetic stimulant belonging to the cathinone class, which is derived from the khat plant. Chemically, it is composed of a substituted phenethylamine structure, featuring a methyl group at the 4-position of the methcathinone backbone. Its synthesis typically involves the reaction of 4-methylpropiophenone with reducing agents, but the exact methods can vary significantly. Mephedrone is often encountered in powdered or crystalline form and is associated with recreational use and various health risks.
