PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Methamphetamine, also known as D-deoxyephedrine or metamfetaminum, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as amphetamines and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing or derived from 1-phenylpropan-2-amine.

Detailed explanation-2: -AIMD computations indicated that single methamphetamine molecules begin to decompose at high temperatures, as indicated in Figure 5A by violet thicker arrows, releasing methane, CH4 (4), benzene, C6H6 (5), acetylene, C2H2 (6), propanyl, C3H4 (21), acetonitrile, C2H3N (22), and ethylimine, H3C2HN (23).

Detailed explanation-3: -Iodine Used in Methamphetamine Production Methamphetamine producers use iodine crystals to produce hydriodic acid, the preferred reagent in the ephedrine/pseudoephedrine reduction method of d-methamphetamine production.

Detailed explanation-4: -Red phosphorus is combined with elemental iodine to produce hydriodic acid (HI). HI is used to convert pseudoephedrine or ephedrine to methamphetamine. Appearance: Red phosphorus (Red-P) is a solid at room temperature. It is found as crystalline or amorphous granules, or as pills or powder (Figure 1, A.).
