2C-B-BUTTERFLY is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the phenethylamine class. It is structurally related to the 2C family of drugs, which are known for their psychoactive properties.

Chemical structure[edit | edit source]

2C-B-BUTTERFLY is characterized by its unique chemical structure, which includes a bromo substituent at the 4-position of the phenyl ring, and two methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions. The compound also features a cyclohexanone moiety, which is linked to a butan-2-ylamino group. This structure is responsible for its classification as a butterfly compound, a term used to describe certain phenethylamines with a cyclohexane ring.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacological effects of 2C-B-BUTTERFLY are not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other compounds in the 2C family. This action is thought to contribute to its psychedelic effects, which may include altered perception, mood changes, and visual hallucinations.

Synthesis[edit | edit source]

The synthesis of 2C-B-BUTTERFLY involves the reaction of 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine with a brominating agent to introduce the bromo group. This is followed by the formation of the cyclohexanone ring and the attachment of the butan-2-ylamino group. The synthesis requires careful control of reaction conditions to ensure the correct structural configuration.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 2C-B-BUTTERFLY varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be classified as a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other psychoactive phenethylamines. Users should be aware of the legal implications of possessing or distributing this compound.
