Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.59SP
(A true story.) A drug user responded to an ad placed by a DEA informant in a drug-culture magazine. He later flew from Colorado to Maryland; where he bought some 1-phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) from the informant. The police waited nearly a month for the suspect to synthesize something, then obtained a search warrant, and searched the residence. They found the unopened bottle of P2P; apparently the suspect was not a good chemist and was unable to follow the instructions the informant gave him. They also found pipes and bongs with residues of marijuana and cocaine, plus a bottle of methylamine hydrochloride, some muriatic acid (dilute HCl), zinc strips, flasks, and other equipment.
- a. Assume you are consulting for the police. Show what synthesis the suspect was prepared to carry out, to provide probable cause for the charge of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance.
- b. Assume you are a member of the jury. Would you convict the defendant of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance?
