BOH, also known as3,4-methylenedioxy-β-methoxyphenethylamine or asβ-methoxy-MDPEA, is adrug of thephenethylamine,MDxx, andBOx families.[1] It is the β-methoxyanalogue of3,4-methylenedioxyphenethylamine (MDPEA) and is also more distantly related tomethylone (β-keto-MDMA).[1]
In his bookPiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved),Alexander Shulgin lists BOH's dose range as 80 to 120 mgorally and itsduration as 6 to 8 hours.[1] The effects of BOH were reported to include distinct body awareness, a faint sense of innerwarmth, mildmood enhancement,pupil dilation, skin prickling, bodily discomfort,loose bowels,decreased appetite,thirstiness, vaguenausea, andcold feet.[1] There were no clearpsychedelic,entactogenic, oreuphoriant effects described.[1]
On account of itsstructural similarity tonorepinephrine, BOH might be purelyadrenergic in nature.[1]
Thechemical synthesis of BOH has been described.[1]
Analogues of BOH include3,4-methylenedioxyphenethylamine (MDPEA; homopiperonylamine),3C-BOH (α-methyl-BOH),BOB (β-methoxy-2C-B),BOD (β-methoxy-2C-D), andmethylone (β-keto-MDMA), among others.[1]
BOH was first described in thescientific literature byAlexander Shulgin,Peyton Jacob III, andDarrell Lemaire in 1985.[2] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Shulgin in his 1991 bookPiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).[1]
This substance is a Class A drug in theDrugs controlled by the UK Misuse of Drugs Act.[3]
