1,3-Benzodioxolylpentanamine (BDP), also known as K or as 3,4-methylenedioxy-α-propylphenethylamine (MDPPEA), is a drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine families.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is the parent compound of 1,3-benzodioxolyl-N-methylpentanamine (MBDP; methyl-K) and 1,3-benzodioxolyl-N-ethylpentanamine (EBDP; ethyl-K), as well as of pentylone (βk-MBDP).^[1]^[2]^[3] The drug was synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in PiHKAL.^[1] In contrast to MBDP and EBDP however, it is not known to have ever been tried by humans.^[1]^[2] Very little is known about BDP.^[1]^[2]
