Synthetic Cathinones and their analogues.

Any substance, (other than a substance listed in the above

Section 2 or bupropion) that is structurally derived from 2- amino-1-phenylpropan-1-one by modification in any of the atom by any substitution by an atom or a specific group of atoms (functional group) or substituent including any salt or stereoisomeric form thereof, and any preparation or product containing thereof.

8. Aminodanes and their analogues.

Any aminodane (other than listed in the above Sections) and any substance, including any salt or stereoisomeric form of such substances, and any preparation or product containing such substances.

9. Phenethylamines and their analogues.

Any phenethylamine substance (other than a substance listed in the above Section 2), including any type of positional isomer in the phenyl ring by modification in any of the atom by any substitution by an atom or a specific group of atoms (functional group), substituted substances such as the ‘2C series’, ring substituted amphetamines such as the ‘D series’, any benzodifurans or its substituent and any others substance thereof, including any salt or stereoisomeric form thereof, and any preparation or product containing thereof.

10. Any substance (not being bupropion, cathinone, diethylpropion, pyrovalerone or not being listed for the time being specified in above Sections) structurally derived from 2–amino–1–phenyl–

1– propanone by modification in any of the following ways, that is to say-

(a)

by substitution in the phenyl ring to any extent with alkyl, alkoxy, alkylenedioxy, haloalkyl or halide substituents, whether or not further substituted in the phenyl ring by one or more other univalent substituents;

(b)

by substitution at the 3–position with an alkyl substituent;

(c)

by substitution at the nitrogen atom with alkyl or dialkyl groups, or by inclusion of the nitrogen atom in a cyclic structure.

11. Any substance (other than a substance listed in above Sections)

structurally derived from 2– aminopropan–1–one by substitution at the 1-position with any monocyclic or fused-polycyclic ring system or not being listed for the time being specified in above Sections or not being a phenyl ring or alkylenedioxyphenyl ring system), whether or not the substance is further modified in any of the following ways, that is to say-

(a)

by substitution in the ring system to any extent with alkyl, alkoxy, alkylenedioxy haloalkyl or halide substituents, whether or not further substituted in the ring system by one or more other univalent substituents;

(b)

by substitution at the 3–position with an alkyl substituent;

(c)

by substitution at the 2-amino nitrogen atom with alkyl or dialkyl groups, or by inclusion of the 2-amino nitrogen atom in a cyclic structure.

12. Any substance (not being listed in above Sections or not being pipradrol) structurally derived from piperidine, pyrrolidine, azepane, morpholine or pyridine by substitution at a ring carbon atom with a diphenylmethyl group, whether or not the substance is further modified in any of the following ways, that is to say-

(a)

by substitution in any of the phenyl rings to any extent with alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl or halide groups;

(b)

by substitution at the methyl carbon atom with an alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or hydroxy group;

(c)

by substitution at the ring nitrogen atom with an alkyl, alkenyl, haloalkyl or hydroxyalkyl group.
