Phenylethylpyrrolidine


1-(2-Phenylethyl)pyrrolidine (PEP) is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine family. It is an analogue of 2-phenylethylamine where the amine has been replaced by a pyrrolidine ring.

Derivatives

The α-methyl (i.e., amphetamine derivative is 1-(α-methylphenethyl)pyrrolidine (MPEP), the β-keto derivative is phenacylpyrrolidine, and the combined α-methyl and β-keto (i.e., cathinone) derivative is α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (α-PPP). Prolintane is the α-propyl derivative of PEP.

PEP is the base chemical structure for a series of stimulant drugs, including:

All of these compounds differ from PEP in that the alpha carbon is extended and a ketone is attached to the beta carbon (with the exception of prolintane), among other modifications.

A cyclized phenethylamine and 2-aminoindane derivative is Pyr-AI ((2-indanyl)pyrrolidine). It is the analogue of 2-aminoindane (2-AI) in which the amine has been replaced with a pyrrolidine group. The drug has been described as having strong and long-lasting amphetamine-like effects in rodents.
