[edit] Chemistry

DOET is in a class of compounds commonly known as alpha-methyl phenethylamines, or amphetamines and the full chemical name is 4-Ethyl-2,5-dimethoxy-alpha-methylbenzeneethanamine, or 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenyl)propan-2-amine. It has an active stereocenter and (R)-DOET is the more active isomer.

[edit] Effects

DOET produces psychedelic and entheogenic effects that last up 14-20 hours. In his book PiHKAL, Alexander Shulgin lists a dosage of DOET as being 2-7 mg orally, with 6-7mg being the dosage for full, desired effects.

[edit] Pharmacology

The mechanism that produces the hallucinogenic and entheogenic effects of DOET is thought to result from its action as an agonist at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor.

[edit] Dangers

The toxicity of DOET is not known.

[edit] Legality

DOET is classified as a Schedule 1 substance in the United States, and is similarly controlled in other parts of the world. Internationally, DOET is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances[1].
