Chemistry:2CT7-2-EtO

From HandWiki

2CT7-2-EtO, also known as 4-propylthio-2-ethoxy-5-methoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and TWEETIO families related to 2C-T-7.[1][2][3] It is the derivative of 2C-T-7 in which the methoxy group at the 2 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, 2CT7-2-EtO's dose is 20 mg orally and its duration is about 5 hours.[1][2][3] It was said to have a "quick" or "fast" onset and to be very short-lived.[1][2][3] The effects of 2CT7-2-EtO have been reported to include modest but real closed-eye visuals.[1] In addition, it was said to cause an uncomfortable headache the next day that intuitively seemed to be an after-effect of the drug.[1]

The chemical synthesis of 2CT7-2-EtO has been described.[1]

2CT7-2-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]

This is the 2-EtO-homologue of 2C-T-7, 2-ethoxy-5-methoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethyl-amine, or 2CT7-2ETO. The benzaldehyde (2-ethoxy-5-methoxy-4-(n-propylthio)benzaldehyde had a melting point of 69-71 °C, the nitrostyrene intermediate a melting point of 106-106.5 °C, and the final hydrochloride a melting point of 187-189 C. At the 20 milligram level, the effects were felt quickly, and the eyes-closed visuals were modest but real. It was very short-lived, with baseline recovery at about the fifth hour. The next day there was an uncomfortable headache which seemed on an intuitive level to be an after-effect of the compound."
