'''4-AcO-DET''' ('''4-Acetoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine''', '''ethacetin''') is an obscure synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] [[chemical class::tryptamine]]. There is very little information on the human pharmacology or toxicity of 4-AcO-DET, although analytical methods have been developed for its detection.<ref>http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0039914008005808</ref><ref>http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00044-011-9794-y</ref> Today it is either used recreationally as a [[designer drug]] or as an [[entheogen]]ic compound and is typically acquired through the use of online [[research chemical]] vendors. It remains relatively rare and has very little documented history of human usage.

4-AcO-DET, or 4-Acetoxy-N.N-diethyltryptamine, is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the [[tryptamine]] class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R₃ to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-AcO-DET is substituted at R₄ of its indole heterocycle with an acetoxy (AcO) functional group CH₃COO−. It also contains isopropyl and methyl chains bound to the terminal amine R_N of its tryptamine backbone ([[DET]]).  

4-AcO-DET is the N-substituted diethyl homolog of [[4-HO-DMT]] (psilocin). 4-AcO-DET is the acetate ester analog of [[DET]] and the N-substituted diethyl analog of [[4-AcO-DMT]].<ref>4-Acetoxy-DET - PubChem | https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/3-_2-_Diethylamino_ethyl_-1H-indol-4-yl_acetate#section=Top</ref>
