Psychedelic Research Chemicals or RC Chems are new synthetic substances which are structurally similar to the original drug, while being functional analogs. Data on their effects limited due as they’re fairly new and do not have a lot of human consumption history.

Psychedelics are substances (natural or laboratory made) which cause profound changes in a one’s perceptions of reality. While under the influence of hallucinogens, users might hallcuniate visually and auditorily.

Disclaimer: Psychedelic drugs offer some of the most powerful and intense psychological experiences. Additionally these substances are illegal in many places. We understand that even though these substances are illegal, their use occurs frequently. We do not condone breaking of the law. By providing accurate information about these substances, we encourage the user to make responsible decisions and practice harm reduction.

A rare compound first produced by Albert Hoffman, also known as ethocin. Structurally related to 4-HO-MET (metocin) and psilocin (4-HO-DMT), this drug has similar psychedelic effects but little recorded human usage. Probably similar to mushrooms. Potentially stimulating.

Summary

4-HO-DET is a close structural and functional analog of psilocin (4-HO-DMT), the principal psychoactive component in magic mushrooms. It is notable for sharing many of its core features while retaining subtle variations in its duration, visual, cognitive and bodily effects. This compound was first discovered in the late 1950s by and Franz Troxler in their investigation of various psychedelic compounds that were structurally and chemically related to the principle active components he isolated from magic mushrooms, psilocybin (4-PO-DMT) and psilocin (4-HO-DMT).

The substance was used together with its phosphoryloxy-analog in human clinical trials in the 1960s by the German researchers Hanscarl Leuner and G. Baer. Since its inception, 4-HO-DET has remained relatively uncommon and has very little documentation of human usage, with the majority of psychedelic users preferring more traditional psychedelics like the psilocybin and psilocin in psilocybin mushrooms, or more recently, 4-AcO-DMT.

Today, it is either used as a recreational substance or an entheogen, has no documentation of being sold on the streets and is primarily acquired through the use of online research chemical vendors.

Chemistry

Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicyclic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain.

4-HO-DET is substituted at R4 of its indole heterocycle with a hydroxyl functional group OH−.

It also contains two ethyl chains bound to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone (DET). 4-HO-DET is the lower homolog of 4-AcO-DET, the N-substituted diethyl homolog of 4-HO-DMT (psilocin) and the 4-hydroxy analog of DET.
