2C-N, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenethylamine, is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin.
Chemistry
The full name of the chemical is 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenyl)ethanamine.
Salts of 2C-N have a bright yellow to orange color due to the presence of the nitro group, unlike all other members of the 2C family in which the salts are white.
Synthesis
2C-N is synthesized by the mixed acid nitration of 2C-H using sulfuric acid and nitric acid.[1]
Dosage
In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 100-150 mg. 2C-N is generally taken orally, and effects typically last 4 to 6 hours.[1]
Effects
Shulgin accounts his experiences after ingesting 2C-N:[1]
