2C-O-4, also known as4-isopropoxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is aphenethylamine of the2C family. It is also apositional isomer ofisoproscaline and was probably first synthesized byAlexander Shulgin. It produceshallucinogenic,psychedelic, andentheogenic effects.[1] Because of the low potency of 2C-O-4, and the inactivity of2C-O, Shulgin felt that the 2C-O series would not be an exciting area for research, and did not pursue any furtheranalogues.[1]
2C-O-4 is in a class of compounds commonly known asphenethylamines, and the systematic chemical name is 2-(4-isopropoxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanamine.
Little is known about thepsychopharmacological effects of 2C-O-4. Based on the one report available in his bookPiHKAL, Shulgin lists the dosage of 2C-O-4 as being >60mg.[1]
Thepharmacology of 2C-O-4 has been studied.[2]
The toxicity of 2C-O-4 is not known.
As of October 31, 2016, 2C-O-4 is a controlled substance (Schedule III) in Canada.[3]
2C-O-4 is unscheduled and unregulated in theUnited States; however, because of its close similarity in structure and effects tomescaline and2C-T-7, possession and sale of 2C-O-4 may be subject to prosecution under theFederal Analog Act.
