The S-(-) enantiomer of 2-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (2-AT) produces selective central effects in mice and rabbits that resemble those of hallucinogens such as mescaline. A stereochemical analysis of these findings suggests that the structural relationship between mescaline and other phenethylamine-type hallucinogens may involve a correspondence between the aromatic ring of the phenethylamines and the pyrrole portion of the indole nucleus in LSD.
