2CB-Ind (also known as 2C-B-Ind) is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine class. It is a derivative of the more well-known psychedelic 2C-B, but with an indane ring system replacing the phenyl ring.

Chemical structure and properties

2CB-Ind is chemically classified as a phenethylamine, which is a compound containing a phenyl ring bound to an amino group through an ethyl chain. The indane ring system in 2CB-Ind is a bicyclic structure that consists of a benzene ring fused to a cyclopentane ring. This modification distinguishes it from other compounds in the 2C family of psychedelics.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological effects of 2CB-Ind are not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelics in the 2C series. The compound likely interacts with the 5-HT2A receptor, which is known to play a significant role in the psychedelic effects of these substances.

Effects

The subjective effects of 2CB-Ind are not extensively studied, but anecdotal reports suggest that it produces effects similar to those of 2C-B, including altered visual and auditory perceptions, changes in mood, and a sense of euphoria. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Legal status

The legal status of 2CB-Ind varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be considered a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other banned psychedelics. In others, it may not be specifically listed, but could still be subject to analogue laws that prohibit substances similar to controlled drugs.

Synthesis

The synthesis of 2CB-Ind involves the introduction of an indane ring system into the phenethylamine structure. This process typically requires advanced knowledge of organic chemistry and access to specialized laboratory equipment. The synthesis is not commonly performed outside of research settings due to the complexity and potential legal issues.

Related compounds

2CB-Ind is part of a larger family of compounds known as the 2C series, which includes other psychedelics such as 2C-I, 2C-E, and 2C-T-7. These compounds share a common phenethylamine backbone but differ in their substituents, leading to variations in their pharmacological profiles and effects.
