• Description: Racemic benzodioxole-5-butanamine hydrochloride (RAC) is a pharmacologic agent that has been shown to bind to dopamine receptors, thereby activating them. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression and other mental illnesses. Racemic benzodioxole-5-butanamine hydrochloride is also used in analytical toxicology as a chromatographic standard. This compound has been synthesized using the asymmetric synthesis of primary amines. RAC is also an enantiomer and can exist in two forms: (+)-RAC and (-)-RAC, which are mirror images of each other. The (+) form of racemic benzodioxole-5-butanamine hydrochloride is the more active form, with greater binding affinity for dopamine receptors than the (-) form.
