2C (2C-x) is a general name for the family of psychedelic phenethylamines containing methoxy groups on the 2 and 5 positions of a benzene ring.[1][2][3] Most of these compounds also carry lipophilic substituents at the 4 position, usually resulting in more potent and more metabolically stable and longer acting compounds.[4]
Most of the currently known 2C compounds were first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin in the 1970s and 1980s and published in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved).[3] Shulgin also coined the term 2C, being an acronym for the 2 carbon atoms between the benzene ring and the amino group.[5][1][3] 2C-B is the most popular of the 2C drugs.[3]
