4C-B[edit]

4C-B is a synthetic psychedelic compound that belongs to the class of phenethylamines. It is chemically related to other psychedelic substances such as 2C-B and mescaline. The compound is known for its psychoactive effects, which include alterations in perception, mood, and cognitive processes.

Chemical Structure[edit]

4C-B, or 4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the 4-position of the phenethylamine backbone. This structural modification is responsible for its unique pharmacological properties compared to other phenethylamines.

Pharmacology[edit]

4C-B acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. The compound may also interact with other neurotransmitter systems, contributing to its complex effects on the brain.

Effects[edit]

The effects of 4C-B are similar to those of other psychedelics, including visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time, and changes in emotional and cognitive states. Users may experience enhanced sensory perception and a sense of euphoria. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Legal Status[edit]

The legal status of 4C-B varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and lack of accepted medical use. Researchers interested in studying 4C-B must obtain special licenses to work with the compound.

Safety and Risks[edit]

As with other psychedelics, the use of 4C-B carries certain risks, including the potential for psychological distress, anxiety, and paranoia. It is important for users to be in a safe and supportive environment and to have a clear understanding of the substance's effects before use.

+C-B is a synthetic psychedelic compound that belongs to the class of phenethylamines. It is chemically related to other psychedelic substances such as [[2C-B]] and [[mescaline]]. The compound is known for its psychoactive effects, which include alterations in perception, mood, and cognitive processes.
-==Chemical structure and properties==
+=== Chemical Structure ===
-C-B, or 2-(4-butoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine, is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of [[phenethylamines]]. Its chemical structure consists of a phenyl ring substituted with a butoxy group at the para position and an ethylamine chain. This structure is similar to that of 2C-B, with the primary difference being the butoxy group replacing the methoxy group found in 2C-B.
+C-B, or 4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the 4-position of the phenethylamine backbone. This structural modification is responsible for its unique pharmacological properties compared to other phenethylamines.
-==Pharmacology==
+=== Pharmacology ===
-The pharmacological effects of 4C-B are not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a [[serotonin receptor]] agonist, similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines. This action is thought to be responsible for its psychoactive effects, which may include altered perception, mood changes, and visual hallucinations.

-==Effects==
+=== Effects ===
-The effects of 4C-B are reported to be similar to those of other psychedelics, such as [[LSD]] and 2C-B, but with a unique profile due to its distinct chemical structure. Users have reported experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in perception of time and space, and altered emotional states. The onset of effects typically occurs within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion, with the duration lasting several hours.

-==Synthesis==
+=== Safety and Risks ===
-The synthesis of 4C-B involves the reaction of 4-butoxybenzaldehyde with nitroethane to form the nitrostyrene intermediate, which is then reduced to the corresponding amine. This process is similar to the synthesis of other phenethylamines, such as 2C-B, but requires the use of different starting materials to introduce the butoxy group.
+As with other psychedelics, the use of 4C-B carries certain risks, including the potential for psychological distress, anxiety, and paranoia. It is important for users to be in a safe and supportive environment and to have a clear understanding of the substance's effects before use.
