Chemistry:2C-B-AN

From HandWiki

2C-B-AN, also known as 4-bromo-N-(α′-cyanobenzyl)-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine or as brolphetaminil, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and N-benzylphenethylamine families related to 2C-B.[1][2][3] It is the derivative of 2C-B with a modified NBOMe-like N-(α′-cyanobenzyl) substitution.[1][2][3] The drug is chemically unstable and has been found to be a prodrug of 2C-B in vivo.[1][2][3] It is active at a dose of 50 mg orally and has a duration of 5 to 8 hours.[1][2][4] However, a wider dose range of 30 to 100 mg or more has also been reported.[4] 2C-B-AN has been described as producing stimulation and certain visual alterations.[1][4] It was described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel in 2013, who cited personal communication with P. Rausch in 2009 as the source for the information.[1] 2C-B-AN was encountered as a novel designer drug in Europe by 2016.[2][4] It may be a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[5] The drug is not an explicitly controlled substance in the United States.[6]
