2C-B-OH

2C-B-OH, also known as 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxy-N-hydroxyphenethylamine or as N-hydroxy-2C-B, is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine and 2C families related to the psychedelic drug 2C-B.^[1] It is the N-hydroxy derivative of 2C-B and is structurally related to the HOT-x psychedelics like HOT-2 (N-hydroxy-2C-T-2), HOT-7 (N-hydroxy-2C-T-7), and HOT-17 (N-hydroxy-2C-T-17).^[2] Unlike the HOT-x drugs however, 2C-B-OH was not included nor mentioned by Alexander Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).^[2] The HOT-x psychedelics, as well as the MDxx entactogens MDOH (N-hydroxy-MDA) and FLEA (MDMOH; N-hydroxy-MDMA), may act as prodrugs of their N-unsubstituted analogues, for instance HOT-2 into 2C-T-2.^[2] The chemical synthesis of 2C-B-OH has been described.^[1] The drug was first described in the scientific literature by Leth-Petersen and colleagues in 2016.^[1] It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.^[3]
