3-MeO-PCE, or N-Ethyl-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexan-1-amine, is classed as an [[arylcyclohexylamine]] drug. Ayrlcyclohexylamine drugs are named for their structures which include a cyclohexane ring bound to an aromatic ring along with an amine group. [[3-MeO-PCE]] contains a phenyl ring with a methoxy (CH<sub>3</sub>-O-) substituent at R<sub>3</sub> bonded to a cyclohexane ring. Bound to the same carbon (R<sub>1</sub>) of the cyclohexanone ring is an amino ethyl chain -NCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>3</sub>. 3-MeO-PCE, like [[MXE]] contains an amino ethyl chain rather than the amino methyl chain found in [[DCK]] and [[ketamine]]. 3-MeO-PCE is analogous to [[MXE]], but lacks a R<sub>2</sub> substituted ketone. It is also homologous to [[3-MeO-PCP]] buts lacks the additional carbons to complete a piperidine ring.
