MDEA, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine, is a synthetic molecule of the [[Substituted amphetamine|substituted amphetamine]] family. Molecules of the amphetamine class contain a [[phenethylamine]] core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at R<sub>α</sub>. Additionally, MDEA contains an ethyl substitution on R<sub>N</sub>, which is a single carbon extension of the methyl group present in MDMA. MDEA also contains substitutions at R<sub>3</sub> and R<sub>4</sub> of the phenyl ring with oxygen groups that are incorporated into a methylenedioxy ring through a methylene bridge. MDEA shares this methylenedioxy ring with other drugs like [[MDMA]], [[MDA]] and [[MDAI]]. | MDEA, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine, is a synthetic molecule of the [[Substituted amphetamine|substituted amphetamine]] family.
