'''3,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethoxyamphetamine''' (commonly known as '''3C-E''' or '''3C-Escaline''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] compound of the [[chemical class::Substituted amphetamines|amphetamine]] chemical class. Although it's name suggests it may be related to the [[2C-x]] family, this is not the case. 3C-E has the structure of [[escaline]], a mescaline analogue, with an additional carbon rendering it a substituted amphetamine. | '''3,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethoxyamphetamine''' (commonly known as '''3C-E''' or '''3C-Escaline''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] compound of the [[chemical class::Substituted amphetamines|amphetamine]] chemical class.
