2C-T-19 is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and is described in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved).

Chemical structure

2C-T-19 is chemically classified as a phenethylamine, which is a compound containing a phenyl ring bound to an amino group through an ethyl chain. The structure of 2C-T-19 includes a 2,5-dimethoxy substitution pattern on the phenyl ring, with an isopropylthio group at the 4-position. This structural motif is characteristic of the 2C-T series of compounds.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological properties of 2C-T-19 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 be responsible for its psychedelic effects, which may include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition.

Effects

The effects of 2C-T-19 are not extensively studied, but anecdotal reports suggest that it produces psychedelic experiences similar to other 2C compounds. Users may experience visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought patterns, and altered states of consciousness. The duration and intensity of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.
