6-BAT
Given that 6-CAT is a non-neurotoxic version of para-chloroamphetamine, it is worth considering 6-BAT as well.
The chemical name for this is 6-Bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-amine or 6-bromo-2-aminotetralin [167355-41-1] [867-970-2]. The synthesis method is disclosed (Ex 32). The precursor is called 6-Bromo-2-tetralone [4133-35-1] [640-168-8] (Ex 16).
