2C-N, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenethylamine, is a member of the 2C family of phenethylamines, specifically the 2C-N subgroup, which are characterized by a two carbon chain between the aromatic ring and the amino group. The full name of the chemical is 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenyl)ethanamine.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 2C-N are not well documented, as it has not been widely used or studied. However, anecdotal reports suggest that it produces effects similar to other 2C drugs, including hallucinations, altered perception of time, enhanced introspection, and increased empathy. The duration of effects is typically 4-6 hours.
