Chemical structure of 2C-C

2C-C is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and is known for its hallucinogenic properties. The chemical name of 2C-C is 2,5-dimethoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine.

Chemical Properties

2C-C is a member of the 2C family of drugs, which are characterized by their phenethylamine backbone. The presence of a chlorine atom at the 4-position of the phenyl ring distinguishes 2C-C from other compounds in the series. Its molecular formula is C10H14ClNO2.

Pharmacology

2C-C acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. The drug is typically consumed orally, and its effects can last between 4 to 8 hours.

Effects

The effects of 2C-C are similar to those of other psychedelics, including altered perception of time and space, visual hallucinations, and changes in mood and thought patterns. Users may experience enhanced sensory perception and a sense of euphoria.

Legal Status

The legal status of 2C-C varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it may be legal or unregulated. It is important to be aware of local laws regarding the possession and use of 2C-C.

Synthesis

2C-C can be synthesized from 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde through a series of chemical reactions, including the addition of a chlorine atom to the aromatic ring. The synthesis of 2C-C should only be performed by trained chemists in a controlled laboratory setting.

Related Compounds

2C-C is related to other compounds in the 2C series, such as 2C-B, 2C-I, and 2C-E. These compounds share a similar chemical structure but differ in their substituents, leading to variations in their pharmacological effects.
