NM-2-AI, or N-methyl-2-AI, is the N-methylated derivative of [[2-Aminoindane]] and is analogous to [[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, a bicycle containing a benzene ring fused to a pentane ring. The amino group 2-AI shares with amphetamine is bound to R<sub>2</sub> of the indane group. N-methyl-2-AI contains a methyl group bound to the amino group R<sub>N</sub> (for which it is named). | NM-2-AI, or N-methyl-2-AI, is the N-methylated derivative of [[2-Aminoindane]] and is analogous to [[amphetamine]].
