1-Phenylethylamines: a new series of illicit drugs?

Since 1993 many seizures of 1-phenylethylamine have been made in several European countries. It was originally thought that 1-phenylethylamine had been made in error, but later information suggested that it had been prepared deliberately. The related compounds, 1-amino-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethane and 1...

Description
Summary:Since 1993 many seizures of 1-phenylethylamine have been made in several European countries. It was originally thought that 1-phenylethylamine had been made in error, but later information suggested that it had been prepared deliberately. The related compounds, 1-amino-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethane and 1-methylamino-1-phenylethane and the 1-propanamine isomer of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, have also occurred in isolated cases. Analytical data are presented on these amines as well as a number of Leuckart impurities in 1-phenylethylamine. The pharmacological effects of these substances are largely unknown.
