Initial <strong>SAR</strong><br />

2-Phenethylamine<br />

• No α-CH 3 group<br />

• Lacks central effects on<br />

systemic administration<br />

• Rapidly degraded by<br />

MAO<br />

Amphetamine<br />

• α-methyl group yields<br />

amphetamine<br />

• Has central effects<br />

• Poor MAO substrate<br />

• Stereocenter in <strong>the</strong><br />

side chain<br />

Basic Flavors <strong>of</strong> Amphetamines<br />

• Catecholamine Releasers<br />

• Serotonin Releasers<br />

• Hallucinogenic Compounds<br />

Stereochemistry Reminder<br />

• How does this work, again<br />

• R / S = D / L<br />

• Absolute Configuration<br />

• Determined by structure<br />

• d / l = + / -<br />

• Optical <strong>Activity</strong><br />

• Experimentally determined)<br />

• Absolute configuration DOES NOT predict<br />

optical activity!!!!!<br />
