2C-H or 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine is a substituted [[phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain. 2C-H contains methoxy functional groups CH<sub>3</sub>O- attached to carbons R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>5</sub> as well as a hydrogen atom attached to carbon R<sub>4</sub> of the phenyl ring. 2C-H belongs to the [[2C-x|2C]] family of phenethylamines which contain methoxy groups on the 2 and | 2C-H or 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine is a substituted [[phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain. 2C-H contains methoxy functional groups CH<sub>3</sub>O- attached to carbons R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>5</sub> as well as a hydrogen atom attached to carbon R<sub>4</sub> of the phenyl ring. 2C-H belongs to the [[2C-x|2C]] family of phenethylamines which contain methoxy groups on the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring, and is also their simplest member. It is commonly used as a precursor to other compounds of the [[2C-x|2C family]], including [[2C-B]], [[2C-C]], [[2C-I]], and [[2C-N]]. | ||

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 2C-H use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]]. This is because 2C-H is a [[research chemical]] with very little history of human usage. Independent research should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption. | The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 2C-H use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]].
