Methoxetamine, or (RS)2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(ethylamino)cyclohexanone, is classed as an [[arylcyclohexylamine]] drug. Ayrlcyclohexylamine | Methoxetamine, or (RS)2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(ethylamino)cyclohexanone, is classed as an [[arylcyclohexylamine]] drug. Ayrlcyclohexylamine substances are named for their structures which include a cyclohexane ring bound to an aromatic ring along with an amine group. MXE contains a phenyl ring with a methoxy (CH<sub>3</sub>-O-) substituent at R<sub>3</sub> bonded to a cyclohexane ring substituted at R<sub>2</sub> with an oxo group (cyclohexanone). Bound to the same location (R<sub>1</sub>) of the cyclohexanone ring is an amino ethyl chain -N-CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>3</sub>. | ||
MXE is a chiral molecule that is often produced as a racemate, although batches of its stereo-exclusive isomers have occasionally been produced and distributed. | MXE is a chiral molecule that is often produced as a racemate, although batches of its stereo-exclusive isomers have occasionally been produced and distributed. |
