Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhenylethylamine
DescriptionPhenylethylamine, also known as beta-phenethylamine or 2-phenyl-ethanamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenethylamines. Phenethylamines are compounds containing a phenethylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an ethan-1-amine. Phenylethylamine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Phenylethylamine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
