Material Safety Data Sheet

Local:
Phenethylamine is a backbone for the compounds which have important physiological functions within the body as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and hormones in the blood circulation as well as alkaloids. Phenethylamine is used in manufacturing anti-depression agents and anti diabetic drugs. L-alpha-phenylethylamine which has an amine group at alpha position can be used a synthetic intermediate for biologically active enantiomeric pure monoamine candidates.
