Juno, also known as 4,6-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as 6-methyl-DOM, is a possible psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families related to DOM. [1] [2] [3] It is the 6-methyl derivative of DOM and a positional isomer of Ganesha (3-methyl-DOM). [1] [2] [3] The drug is one of Alexander Shulgin's "ten classic ladies", a series of methylated DOM analogues. [1] [3] DOM, Ganesha, and DOTMA (Julia; 3,6-dimethyl-DOM) are all known to be active psychedelics, so Juno is expected to be an active psychedelic as well, but has not yet been tested. [1] [2] Juno was first described by Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved). [1] He shared in PiHKAL that he had had Juno on a shelf in his lab for almost 14 years but had never gotten around to trying it. [1]

"And there is the 6-hydrogen atom [of DOM] which can become a 6-methyl group to produce a compound called JUNO, who is pretty much a lady’s lady, or should I say a woman’s woman." [...] "And, finally, JUNO (3,6-dimethoxy-2,4-dimethylamphetamine) has been made (from 2,5-dimethoxy-m-xylene, which was reacted with POCl3 and N-methylformanilide to the benzaldehyde, mp 53–54 °C, and to the nitrostyrene with nitroethane, mp 73–74 °C from cyclohexane, and to the final amine hydrochloride with LAH in THF). Rather amazingly, I have had JUNO on the shelf for almost 14 years and have not yet gotten around to tasting it."
