4-AcO-MET or 4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the [[tryptamine]] class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicyclic indole heterocycle attached at R<sub>3</sub> to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-AcO-MET is substituted at R<sub>4</sub> of its indole heterocycle with an acetoxy (AcO) functional group CH<sub>3</sub>COO−. It also contains a methyl group and an ethyl chain bound to the terminal amine R<sub>N</sub> of its tryptamine backbone (MET). 4-AcO-MET is an acetate ester analog of [[4-HO-MET]] and the N-substituted ethyl homolog of [[4-AcO-DMT]]. | 4-AcO-MET or 4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the [[tryptamine]] class.
