4-Fluoroamphetamine (4-FA) is a synthetic molecule of the [[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>. Amphetamines are alpha-methylated phenethylamines. 4-fluoroamphetamine contains a fluorine atom at R<sub>4</sub> of its phenyl ring and is a fluorinated analogue of amphetamine. | 4-Fluoroamphetamine (4-FA) is a synthetic molecule of the [[amphetamine]] family.
