2-AI, or 2-[[chemical class::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.
