N-Methyl-DOET
N-Methyl-DOET, also known as DOETM, as well as 4-ethyl-2,5-dimethoxy-N-methylamphetamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families. It is the N-methyl derivative of the serotonergic psychedelic 4-ethyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine.
Use and effects
N-Methyl-DOET is said to be significantly active at a dose of 18mg and to have a duration of 8 to 10hours in humans. However, it appears to be several times less potent than DOET, which is active at doses of 2 to 6mg with a duration of 14 to 20hours. The effects of N-methyl-DOET were not specifically described but were said to be calmer and more pleasant compared to those of DOET.
Chemistry
Analogues
N-Methylation of psychedelic phenethylamines has invariably greatly reduced or eliminated their hallucinogenic activity. Examples of this include related compounds like Beatrice and methyl-DOB, which at assessed doses appear to be inactive as psychedelics in humans. However, N-methyl-DOET, though much less potent than DOET, is an apparent exception to this rule, in that it has been found to be clearly psychedelic and to retain decent potency.
History
N-Methyl-DOET was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel in 2013. It was synthesized and evaluated by P. Rausch, who provided the information on its properties and effects to Trachsel via personal communication.
Society and culture
Canada
N-Methyl-DOET is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.
