Chemicals added in each step
Acyl group
Piperidine ring
Aniline ring
Alkyl chain
1
Forming the precursor
The aniline ring is added to the piperidine ring using aniline, an essential chemical used to make common products such as dyes and rubber.
2
Creating the intermediate
The alkyl chainis added using (2-bromoethyl)benzene, a chemical commonly found in pharmaceuticals and fragrances. This forms 4-ANPP, an immediate precursor that is tightly regulated.
3
Completion of the fentanyl structure
The final step uses propionyl chloride to add the acyl group, the last piece of the puzzle.
