2C-O-22, also known as 4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and 2C families.[1][2][3] According to Daniel Trachsel, 2C-O-22 produced potential threshold effects at a dose of 42 mg plus 15 mg orally, with Trachsel listing its dose as 57 mg or more.[1][2] The drug's duration is unknown and its effects were not further described.[1][2] The receptor interactions of 2C-O-22 have been studied, with it having been found to act as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist among other actions.[3] 2C-O-22 was first described in the scientific literature by Trachsel in 2012.[2][1] It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[4]
