2-AI, or 2-Aminoindane, is a structural analogue of [[amphetamine]]. It features the R<sub>3</sub> terminal carbon of the propane chain of amphetamine bound to the benzene ring. This creates an indane group, a bicyclic moeity containing a benzene ring fused to a pentane ring. 2-AI contains an amino group NH<sub>2</sub> bound to R<sub>2</sub> of the indane ring thus giving it the name 2-aminoindane. 2-AI is structurally analogous to NM2AI, lacking the N-substituted methyl group.

==Toxicity and harm potential==
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 2-AI use have not been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because 2-AI is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the [[psychonaut]] community  who have tried 2-AI suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses or using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). [https://www.google.com/ Independent research] should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.
