Adrenaline is a [[phenethylamine]] and [[catecholamine]], which is a monoamine chain attached to a benzene ring. The catechol ring is a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups attached to it, where both are ortho-oriented relative to each other. A monoamine chain is made up of an amine group attached to an ethane chain. This monoamine chain can be found in many neurotransmitters, including [[histamine]], [[dopamine]], [[serotonin]] and [[noradrenaline]]. It is also found in many psychoactive substances, examples being [[tryptamines]] and [[phenethylamines]].
