2C-O-4, also known as 4-isopropoxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a phenethylamine of the 2C family.[1] It is also a positional isomer of isoproscaline and was probably first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin.[1] It produces hallucinogenic or psychedelic effects.[1] Because of the low potency of 2C-O-4, and the inactivity of 2C-O, Shulgin felt that the 2C-O series would not be an exciting area for research, and did not pursue any further analogues.[1]
Use and effects
[edit | edit source]Little is known about the psychopharmacological effects of 2C-O-4.[1] Based on the one report available in his book PiHKAL, Shulgin lists the dose of 2C-O-4 as being >60 mg.[1] At 60 mg, threshold psychoactive effects occurred.[1] These included awareness of something in the front part of the head, yawning, physiological changes, and a general exhilaration and excitement.[1] The effects lasted a few hours and were rated as a +1 on the Shulgin Rating Scale.[1] The drug was regarded as remaining to be fully explored.[1]
Toxicity
[edit | edit source]The toxicity of 2C-O-4 is not known.
Pharmacology
[edit | edit source]The pharmacology of 2C-O-4 has been studied.[2]
Chemistry
[edit | edit source]2C-O-4 is in a class of compounds commonly known as phenethylamines, and the systematic chemical name is 2-(4-isopropoxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanamine.
Society and culture
[edit | edit source]Legal status
[edit | edit source]Canada
[edit | edit source]As of October 31, 2016, 2C-O-4 is a controlled substance (Schedule III) in Canada.[3]
United States
[edit | edit source]2C-O-4 is unscheduled and unregulated in the United States; however, because of its close similarity in structure and effects to mescaline and 2C-T-7, possession and sale of 2C-O-4 may be subject to prosecution under the Federal Analog Act.
