Ethcathinone, or ethylcathinone, is a synthetic [[alkaloid]] of the [[substituted cathinone]] class. Substituted cathinones derive from [[cathinone[[, the principal active psychoactive component in the [[khat]] plant. Cathinone is comprised of a [[phenethylamine]] core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain containing a beta-ketone group (~~what is known as a '''cathinone''' molecule~~) ~~with~~ an additional ethyl substitution at Rα. It can be thought of as the cathinone ~~homolog~~ of [[ethylamphetamine]] as it has the same general formula, differing only in the addition of a single double bonded oxygen.

In distinction to its N-methylated lower homolog, methcathinone (M-CAT), ETH-CAT possesses an additional ethyl substitution at Rα. ETH-CAT can be thought of as the cathinone analog of [[ethylamphetamine]] given it has the same general formula, differing only in the addition of a single double bonded oxygen.
