BMK Powder

BMK (Benzyl Methyl Ketone) powder. BMK is a chemical compound of the C6H5CH2COCH3 formule. The oil is colorless and solvent-soluble. This substance is commonly known as P2P in the production of methamphetamine and amphetamine. In the US, it was declared a controlled substance of Schedule II in 1980 because of illegal uses in clandestine chemistry. In humans, phenylacetone occurs through FMO3-mediated oxidative deamination as a metabolite of amphetamine and methamphetamine.

Phenylacetone also called benzyl methyl ketone (BMK) or P2P the main precursor for the production of amphetamine. It is listed by the European Union (EU) under Regulation (EC) 273/2004 on drug precursors, and Council Regulation (EC) 111/2005 which lays down the rules for monitoring the trade in drug precursors. As a consequence, operators must hold an authorisation issued by the competent authorities to own, import or export it. There have been no large seizures of BMK within the EU in recent years.

Phenylacetone can also be synthesized from pre-precursors such as APAAN (alpha-phenylacetoacetonitrile). In recent years, the import of APAAN has been at a very high level and it was consequently placed under control in the EU at the end of 2013. In March 2014, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs voted unanimously in favor of placing it under international control.
