Chemistry:2CT-5-EtO

From HandWiki

2CT-5-EtO, also known as 2-methoxy-4-methylthio-5-ethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and TWEETIO families related to 2C-T.[1][2][3] It is the derivative of 2C-T in which the methoxy group at the 5 position has been replaced with an ethoxy group.[1][2][3]

According to Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, 2CT-5-EtO's dose is 30 mg orally and its duration is perhaps 15 hours.[1][2][3] The effects of 2CT-5-EtO have been reported to include body awareness and modest closed-eye visuals, with the experience being described as quiet, peaceful, contemplative, and insightful.[1] Other effects included insomnia and lots of dreams during sleep.[1]

The chemical synthesis of 2CT-5-EtO has been described.[1]

2CT-5-EtO was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1] It was developed and tested by Darrell Lemaire, with publication via personal communication with Shulgin.[2][4][5][6][7] The drug is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[8]

The benzaldehyde (5-ethoxy-2-methoxy-4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde) was impure, and had a melting point of about 66 °C, the nitrostyrene intermediate a melting point of 133–134 °C, and the final hydrochloride a melting point of 184–185 °C. There was a body awareness and modest eyes-closed visuals following the use of 30 milligrams of 2CT-5ETO. The experience was quiet, peaceful, contemplative, and insightful. The duration was perhaps 15 hours and Halcion was needed to allow sleep. There were a lot of dreams, and the next day was restful."
