2CD-2-EtO, also known as 2-ethoxy-5-methoxy-4-methylphenethylamine, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and TWEETIO families related to the psychedelic drug 2C-D. "The 2-EtO homologue of 2C-D is 2-ethoxy-5-methoxy-4-methylphenethylamine, or 2CD-2ETO. The benzaldehyde (2-ethoxy-5-methoxy-4-tolualdehyde) had a melting point of 60.5–61 °C, the nitrostyrene intermediate a melting point of 110.5–111.5 °C, and the final hydrochloride a melting point of 207–208 °C. The hydrobromide salt had a melting point of 171–173 °C. At levels of 60 milligrams, there was the feeling of closeness between couples, without an appreciable state of intoxication. The duration was about 4 hours." It is the derivative of 2C-D in which the methoxy group at the 2 position has been replaced with an ethoxy group.
According to Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, 2CD-2-EtO's dose is 60mg orally and its duration is about 4hours. The effects of 2CD-2-EtO have been reported to include feelings of closeness and intimacy between couples without an appreciable state of intoxication.
The chemical synthesis of 2CD-2-EtO has been described.
2CD-2-EtO was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991. It was developed and tested by Darrell Lemaire, with publication via personal communication with Shulgin. The drug is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.
