2C-D (4-Methyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine) for psychedelic research. Purity ≥98% (HPLC). For research purposes only.

**Product Name:** 2C-D (4-Methyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine)

General Description:**

2C-D is formally described as 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-amine. It is a synthetic molecule belonging to the phenethylamine class and the 2C family of substituted phenethylamines. Pharmacologically, 2C-D acts as a partial agonist at serotonin receptors, specifically demonstrating affinity for the 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2B, and 5-HT_2C receptors. In analytical and forensic settings, 2C-D is utilized as a reference standard for the development of LC-MS/MS and GC-MS screening methods to detect designer drugs in biological or seized samples.
