Abstract
Synthetic cannabinoids are the most popular psychoactive compounds on the illegal market. In the gas chromatographic determination, some synthetic cannabinoids undergo chemical transformations because of their thermal interaction with the chromatographic system. This paper is devoted to the elucidation of the structure of a gas chromatographic artifact formed from synthetic cannabinoid N-(1-carbamoyl-2-methylpropyl)-1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indazol-3-carboxamide as a result of dehydration of its terminal carbamoyl moiety. The chemical structure of the artifact is determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry.
