2-Aminoindan hydrochloride

Description

Aminoindans (AI) were originally studied as semi-rigid congeners of phenylethylamines, which are psychoactive alkaloids. 2-AI is an aminoindane that serves as the starting point for the synthesis of psychoactive compounds, such as 5,6-methylenedioxy-2-aminoindane. 2-AI itself has modest analgesic and stimulatory properties. This product is intended for forensic applications.

Chemical Properties

White powder

Uses

Prepared from 2-indanols via azide displacement and subsequent hydrogenation.
