Designation of P2P Methyl Glycidic Acid as a List I Chemical (DEA1395)

The Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing the control of the chemical 2-methyl-3- phenyloxirane-2-carboxylic acid (also known as P2P methyl glycidic acid and BMK glycidic acid) and its esters, its optical and geometric isomers, its salts, salts of its optical and geometric isomers and its esters, and any combination thereof, whenever the existence of such is possible, as a list I chemical under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). P2P methyl glycidic acid is important to the manufacture of the schedule II controlled substances phenylacetone (also known as phenyl-2-propanone or P2P), methamphetamine, and amphetamine, and it is used in clandestine laboratories to illicitly manufacture these controlled substances.
