A strategy to replace the ethylamine side chain of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI, 1a), and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine (DOB, 1b) with a cyclopropylamine moiety was successful in leading to compounds with high affinity at the 5-HT(2) family of receptors; and the more potent stereoisomer of the cyclopropane analogues had the expected (-)-(1R,2S)-configuration. Screening for affinity...
