3,4-Dimethoxyphenethylamine synthesis of Bevantolol. DMPEA has some activity as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. DMPEA occurs naturally along with mescaline in various species of cacti such as San Pedro and Peruvian Torch. 3,4-Dimethoxyphenethylamine 3,4-Dimethoxyphenethylamine (DMPEA) is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine class. It is an analogue of the major human neurotransmitter dopamine where the 3- and 4-position hydroxy groups have been replaced with methoxy groups. It is also closely related to mescaline which is 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine. One of the earliest syntheses of DMPEA (then referred to as "homoveratrylamine") was that of Pictet and Finkelstein, who made it in a multi-step sequence starting
Stenocarpus Stenocarpus Stenocarpus is a genus of about 25 species of woody trees or shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. In Australia, 10 species are known growing naturally in rainforests of eastern New South Wales and Queensland and in the northern monsoonal forests of Queensland, Northern Territory, and Western Australia. Two of these eastern Australia species also grow naturally in New Guinea and one in the Aru Islands, Moluccas. The greatest species diversity occurs in New Caledonia, where 12 endemic species are known. By far the most well known in Australia is "Stenocarpus sinuatus", the Queensland firewheel tree, which
