'''2C-D''' ('''2,5-Dimethoxy-4- | '''2C-D''' ('''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenetylamine''') is a [[psychedelic]] [[phenethylamine]] of the [[2C-x family]].<ref>Alexander Shulgin - PIHKAL | http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal033.shtml</ref> It was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]] and described in his 1991 book [[PiHKAL]]: A Chemical Love Story. | ||
In modern times, it is used as a recreational drug and an [[entheogen]], rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area research chemical through the use of online vendors. Therefore, it is relatively uncommon and has only a short history of human use. | In modern times, it is used as a recreational drug and an [[entheogen]], rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area research chemical through the use of online vendors.

2C-D or 2,5-dimethoxy-4- | 2C-D or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenethylamine is a substituted [[phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain. 2C-D 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 methyl group attached to carbon R<sub>4</sub> of the phenyl ring. 2C-D belongs to the 2C family of phenethylamines which contain methoxy groups on the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. <ref>http://isomerdesign.com/PiHKAL/read.php?id=22</ref> | ||
