Résumé :
N-Ethylnorpentylone (IUPAC name: 1-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(ethylamino)pentan-1-one) is a ring-substituted synthetic cathinone analog. It originally emerged in the 1960s during pharmaceutical drug development efforts. Another common name used widely is N-ethylpentylone. On the streets, N-ethylnorpentylone is most likely available as the racemic mixture and it might be obtained from Internet retailers. In the United States of America (USA), this substance was detected for the first time in 2014 but began to emerge more prominently in 2016 both in the USA and other UN Member States. Seizures indicate that N-ethylnorpentylone is available in powder, crystal, rock, capsule, and tablet forms. Examples exist where this drug has been surreptitiously sold as 'ecstasy'/MDMA.
