2CD-5EtO is a homologue of the psychedelic phenethylamine 2C-D, where the 5-methoxy group of 2C-D has been lengthened to an ethoxy group. 2CD-5EtO is a representative example of the so-called "tweetio" compounds discovered by Alexander Shulgin and briefly mentioned in his book PiHKAL . They are homologues of the 2C family of drugs, where either one or both of the methoxy groups at the 2,5-positions of the aromatic ring have been replaced by ethoxy. The term tweetio was derived phonetically from the sound of the "2-ETO" derivatives.

Contents

Many tweetio derivatives of various 2C drugs have been synthesized and tested, including the 2-ethoxy homologues 2CD-2EtO, 2CB-2EtO, 2CI-2EtO, 2CT-2EtO, 2CT2-2EtO, 2CT4-2EtO and 2CT7-2EtO, the 5-ethoxy homologues 2CD-5EtO, 2CE-5EtO, 2CB-5EtO, 2CT-5EtO and 2CT2-5EtO, and the 2,5-diethoxy homologues 2CD-diEtO, 2CB-diEtO and 2CT2-diEtO, [1] as well as 2CE-5iPrO. [2] In general, the 2-ethoxy homologues were all several times less potent and somewhat shorter acting than the parent compounds, while the 2,5-diethoxy homologues were far less potent and qualitatively milder even at high doses. [3] The 5-ethoxy homologues however were of a similar potency to the parent compounds and much longer-lasting, with both 2CE-5EtO and 2CT2-5EtO lasting 24 hours or more.
