2C-T-21.5 is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the 2C family of phenethylamines. It is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to those of other compounds in the 2C series. The compound was first synthesized by the chemist Alexander Shulgin and is documented in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved).
Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
2C-T-21.5 is a member of the 2C family, characterized by the presence of a phenethylamine backbone with methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. The "T" in its name indicates the presence of a thioether group, which is a sulfur atom bonded to an ethyl group. This structural feature is responsible for some of the unique properties of 2C-T-21.5 compared to other 2C compounds.
