Dataset allowing for the identification of three new synthetic cannabimimetics featuring a norbornyl methyl side chain by spectrometric and spectroscopic techniques

Every year, new SCs appear on the drug market and reliable and correct identification of these new derivatives independent from the matrix relies on the availability of verified spectra. Three new synthetic cannabimimetics featuring a norbornyl methyl side chain and varying in the core structure element were identified in different seizures and forms.

Cumyl-BC[2.2.1]HpMeGaClone and Cumyl-BC[2.2.1]HpMINACA were laced onto herbal blends whereas Cumyl-BC[2.2.1]HpMICA was seized as pure solid powder. The data collection process involves a comprehensive set of orthogonal analytical techniques aimed at the unambiguous identification of the respective endo- and exo-isomers. Furthermore, the diversity of analytical techniques allows a greater number of laboratories working in the field of forensic chemistry to confidently identify the substances described in our original research article.
