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
Species translocation southwestern Western Australia have either been considered for translocation or trialled. "Grevillea scapigera" is one such case, threatened by rabbits, dieback and degraded habitat. The first of three types of translocation is introduction. Introduction is the deliberate or accidental translocation of a species into the wild in areas where it does not occur naturally. Introduction of non-native species occurs for a variety of reasons. Examples are economic gain (Sitka Spruce), controlling crop pests (cane toads), improvement of hunting and fishing (fallow deer), ornamentation of roads (rhododendron) or maintenance (sweet chestnut). In the past, the costs of translocation introductions of non-native
