Abstract

AbstractDue to its closed ring system, 2‐aminoindane is a conformationally rigid analogue of amphetamine. Internet websites offering synthetic compounds as ‘research chemicals’ have recently been advertising 5,6‐methylenedioxy‐2‐aminoindane (MDAI), 5, 6‐methylenedioxy‐N‐methyl‐2‐aminoindane (MDMAI), 5‐iodo‐2‐aminoindane (5‐IAI), and 5‐methoxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐aminoindane (MMAI). The chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicological aspects of this new class of psychoactive substances are reviewed, as these could become the next wave of ‘legal highs’.
