2C-G is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C-series. First synthesized by Alexander Shulgin,^[1] it is sometimes used as an entheogen. It has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to 2C-D and Ganesha. Like many of the phenethylamines in PiHKAL, 2C-G and its homologs have only been taken by Shulgin and a small test group, making it difficult to ensure completeness when describing effects.

Chemistry

2C-G is 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, with the formula C
₁₂H
₁₉NO
₂.

Dosage and effects

In Shulgin's book PiHKAL, the dosage range is listed as 20 to 35 mg.^[1] Effects are similar to the related Ganesha, and are extremely long lasting; the duration is 18–30 hours. Visual effects are muted or absent, and it is described in PiHKAL as an "insight-enhancer".^[1] Unlike other members of the 2C-series, 2C-G is nearly as potent as its amphetamine form.

Homologs

Several homologs of 2C-G were also synthesized by Shulgin. These include 2C-G-3, 2C-G-5, and 2C-G-N. Some, such as 2C-G-1, 2C-G-2, 2C-G-4, and 2C-G-6 are possible to synthesize in principle but impossible or extraordinarily difficult to do so in practice.

2C-G-1	CAS: 2888537-47-9 The synthesis of this compound has not been reported, but it is described prophetically in WO2022271982
2C-G-2	CAS: 2888537-48-0 The synthesis of this compound has not been reported, but it is described prophetically in WO2022271982
2C-G-3	CAS: 207740-19-0 Dosage: 16–25 mg Duration: 12–24 hours Effects: Some visual effects. General euphoria with an underlying sense of paranoia.
2C-G-4	CAS: 952006-59-6 Synthesized but not tested.
2C-G-5	CAS: 207740-20-3 Dosage: 10–16 mg Duration: 32–48 hours Effects: Similar to 2C-B for some users. General euphoria (sometimes followed by irritability), often leading to tiredness (likely due to duration).
2C-G-6	CAS: 2888537-49-1 The synthesis of this compound has not been reported, but it is described prophetically in WO2022271982
2C-G-N	CAS: 207740-21-4 Dosage: 20–40 mg Duration: 20–30 hours Effects: Stimulation similar to that caused by amphetamines. General sense of unease or unfriendliness for most. 2C-G-N is sometimes called 2C-NPH due to the Naphthalene portion of the molecule.

Legal status
