2-Phenylethylamine hydrochloride（Cat No.:M070228）is the hydrochloride salt form of 2-phenylethylamine (PEA), a naturally occurring monoamine with the formula C₈H₁₁N·HCl. It consists of a phenyl ring attached to an ethylamine chain and appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water. PEA acts as a central nervous system stimulant and is structurally related to neurotransmitters like dopamine and amphetamine. While it is found in trace amounts in the human body and certain foods, its hydrochloride salt is used in biochemical research and as a synthetic intermediate. It should be handled with care due to potential stimulant effects.
