Common names :Deschloroketamine, DCK, DXE, O-PCM
Substitutive name:Deschloroketamine
Systematic name :2-Phenyl-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone
Deschloroketamine, or 2-Phenyl-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone, is classed as an arylcyclohexylamine
Descholoroketamine is a chiral molecule and is often produced as a racemate. Des- is a prefix used in chemistry to denote the absence of a functional group (in this case "chloro") hence deschloroketamine is named for lacking a chlorine substitution on its phenyl ring, which is found in ketamine.
