Chemistry:Phenescaline

From HandWiki

Phenescaline, also known as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-phenylethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline.[1] It is the derivative of mescaline in which the methoxy group at the 4 position has been replaced with a phenylethoxy group.[1] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists phenescaline's dose as greater than 150 mg orally and its duration as unknown.[1] The effects of phenescaline have been reported to include threshold effects and a vague unreal feeling as if one had not had enough sleep.[1] The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 59 nM).[2] The chemical synthesis of phenescaline has been described.[1] Phenescaline was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1]
