Chemistry:2CT2-5-EtO

From HandWiki

2CT2-5-EtO, also known as 4-ethylthio-2-methoxy-5-ethoxyphenethylamine or as Forever Yours, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and TWEETIO families related to the psychedelic drug 2C-T-2.[1][2][3] It is the derivative of 2C-T-2 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, 2CT2-5-EtO's dose is 20 mg orally and its duration is 16 to 24 hours.[1][2][3] Its onset is said to be "slow" and "gentle", with peak effects occurring after 3 or 4 hours, and it is said to be very long-lived.[1] The effects of 2CT2-5-EtO have been reported to include flooding of thoughts, easy conversation, insights, and feeling drained in the following day or two.[1] Occasionally, a sedative was given to counteract its effects at the 16-hour point and allow for sleep, but with some intoxication still present the next day.[1] The drug's potency is similar to that of 2C-T-2, but it is much longer-lasting.[1][2][3] Due to its long duration, 2CT2-5-EtO was given the nickname "Forever Yours".[1]

The chemical synthesis of 2CT2-5-EtO has been described.[1]

2CT2-5-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-4-ethylthio-2-methoxybenzaldehyde) had a melting point of 49 °C, but it was impure. The nitrostyrene intermediate melted at 107-108 °C, and the final hydrochloride had a melting point of 180 °C. At levels of 20 milligrams, there was a slow, gentle climb to a full effect at the third or fourth hour. The flooding of thoughts and easy conversation lasted for many hours, and on some occasion a sedative was needed at the 16 hour point. There was a feeling of being drained for the following day or two. Some intoxication was still noted in the second day. Again it is true here, as had been stated as a generality, that the 5-Tweetio analogues have potencies similar to that of the parent compound, but show a much longer duration. The nickname of "forever yours" had been applied. There may indeed be insight, but 24 hours' worth is an awful lot of insight."
