Aleph-6, or ALEPH-6, also known as 4-phenylthio-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families. [1] [2] [3] It is one of the Aleph series of compounds. [1] [2] [3] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists Aleph-6's dose as greater than 40 mg orally and its duration as "probably long". [1] [2] [3] The effects of Aleph-6 have been reported to include "un-worldliness", among others. [1] It was reported to have synergized with LSD when taken in combination with it. [1] Overall however, Shulgin regarded Aleph-6 as a "disappointment" and that it may be a "forever threshold thing". [1] The chemical synthesis of Aleph-6 has been described. [1] [2] The 2C analogue, 2C-T-6, has never been synthesized. [1] Aleph-6 was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991. [1] [2] [3]
