Prohibition of some synthetic cannabimimetics that have been included in smoking mixtures
(“spices”) occurred in the Russian Federation on January 22, 2010. In this work the method of detection
of the cannabimimetic CP47,497 (С8) in urine of smokers is presented. Sample preparation included
acidic hydrolyses, liquid or solid-liquid extraction steps with the subsequent detection of CP47,497 (С8)
by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. The retention indices and mass spectra of the acetyl,
trimethylsilyl and trifluoroacetyl derivatives of CP47,497 (С8) are listed. The presented method could be
used for the establishment of CP47,497 (С8) consumption in efforts to forensic chemical and chemical
toxicological analysis
