2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethylamine is a common synthetic precursor and inhibitor of the monoamine-oxidase catalyzed deamination of both tyramine and tryptamine. 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethylamine is a phenethylamine. It antagonizes at the 5-HT2A receptor. The methoxy group attached to the benzene ring increases the compound′s electron-donating properties, enhancing its stability and making it less reactive to oxidative conditions. This characteristic is beneficial in synthetic chemistry, where 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethylamine can be used as an intermediate or a building block for more complex molecules, particularly in the synthesis of dyes, polymers, and other industrial materials.
