Qualone analogues

now - 9-9-2007 at 12:42

Hi, I was reading Designer drugs directory, and it says about metaqualone and analogues: "The key-precursor in its manufacture is N-acetyl anthranilic acid which is a chemical widely used in the chemical industry. Attempts to control the commerce of this precursor have brought about limited success. A number of metaqualone analogues may be obtained in a single step operation from N-acetyl anthranilic acid and a suitable substituted aniline."

I haven't studied chemistry that much yet, so can you explain me how is that single step operation done?

Here are some analogues that interests me:

So do that some first, and the answers you seek will be apparent. Untill then, this thread is closed.

Sorry Davster,
Can I just butt in before you close this thread and add something (time paradox!).
I would like to point to the <a href="http://www.sciencemadness.org/madscifaq.html">FAQ</a> once again. Also, I'd like to nip in the bud any linking to other sites like this (referencing is of course fine: and encouraged! ;)). Bringing stuff to the attention of board members is fine, but please don't spam drug related material out onto this chemistry board. :)
