15.36 Phenylethylamine is a natural substance that is structurally similar to amphetamine. It is found in sources as diverse as almond oil and human urine, where it occurs at elevated concentrations as a result of stress and certain forms of schizophrenia. One method of synthesizing the compound for pharmacological and psychiat- ric studies involves two steps: H2 -CH2-CI + NaCN -CH2-C=N Pt -CH,-CH,-NH, phenylethylamine Classify each step as an addition, elimination, or substitution.
