phenidate research|3,4-CTMP Powder: A Research Reference Overview

3,4-Dichloromethylphenidate (3,4-CTMP) is a synthetic phenidate analog of methylphenidate (Ritalin) that emerged on the European research chemical market around 2013 . At Foreverchems, we provide 3,4-CTMP powder exclusively as a qualified reference material for laboratory research and forensic analytical applications.

Chemical Profile

3,4-CTMP is structurally nearly identical methylphenidate, with the key distinction being the addition of two chlorine atoms at the 3 and 4 positions of the phenyl ring . Its systematic name is methyl 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(piperidin-2-yl)acetate, with a molecular formula of C₁₄H₁₇Cl₂NO₂ . The compound acts as a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, binding to and partially blocking the transporter proteins responsible for monoamine clearance from the synaptic cleft .

Research Context

Preclinical research indicates that 3,4-CTMP is approximately seven times more potent than methylphenidate in animal studies, though it exhibits a slower onset of action and consequently weaker reinforcing effects . A 2018 neurochemical study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry demonstrated that 3,4-CTMP (at 0.1 and 1 μM) increased evoked dopamine efflux by approximately six-fold in rat nucleus accumbens tissue, compared to a four-fold increase produced by methylphenidate at 10 μM . The same study noted that 3,4-CTMP’s pronounced effect on dopamine efflux suggests it may possess significant addictive liability relative to other phenidate analogs .
