MMDA, also known as 5-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, is a synthetic molecule of the [[Substituted amphetamine|substituted amphetamine]] family. Molecules of the amphetamine class contain a [[phenethylamine]] core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at R<sub>α</sub>. Additionally, MMDA contains substitutions at R<sub>3</sub> and R<sub>4</sub> of the phenyl ring with oxygen groups that are incorporated into a methylenedioxy ring through a methylene bridge. In addition, it contains a methoxy group at R<sub>5</sub>. MMDA shares this methylenedioxy ring with other drugs like [[MDA]] and [[MDMA]] but differs with its additional methoxy substitution. | MMDA, also known as 5-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, is a synthetic molecule of the [[Substituted amphetamine|substituted amphetamine]] family.
