2C-H
(Redirected from 2,5-Dimethoxyphenethylamine)
2C-H is a lesser-known member of the 2C family of psychedelic phenethylamines, which also includes substances such as 2C-B, 2C-E, and 2C-I. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book PiHKAL.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name "2C-H" comes from the chemical structure of the substance: it is a 2,5-dimethoxy-phenethylamine, with the "H" indicating the presence of a hydrogen atom at the position where other members of the 2C family have different substituents.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
2C-H is a phenethylamine, a class of compounds that includes many psychoactive drugs. It is a psychedelic and hallucinogen, and its effects are primarily due to its action as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. It is also a precursor to many other psychedelic phenethylamines, such as 2C-B, 2C-I, and 2C-N.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The pharmacological properties of 2C-H are not well-studied. However, it is known to act as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist, which is likely responsible for its psychedelic effects. It is also thought to have a relatively low potency compared to other members of the 2C family.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-H are not well-documented, as it is less commonly used than other members of the 2C family. However, it is reported to produce psychedelic effects, including altered perception, enhanced visual effects, and changes in thought processes. The duration of effects is typically several hours.
Legal status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 2C-H varies by country. In the United States, it is not specifically listed as a controlled substance, but it may be considered illegal under the Federal Analog Act due to its structural similarity to other controlled phenethylamines.
