N-Acetyldopamine is the organic compound with the formula CH₃C(O)NHCH₂CH₂C₆H₃(OH)₂. It is the N-acetylated derivative of dopamine. This compound is a reactive intermediate in sclerotization, the process by which insect cuticles are formed by hardening molecular precursors. The catechol substituent is susceptible to redox and crosslinking.^[2]^[3]
