5,6-MeO-MiPT, or 5,6-dimethoxy
-N-methyl-N-isopropyl
tryptamine
, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug
. It is the 5,6-dimethoxy
analog
of MiPT
. 5,6-MeO-MiPT was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin
. In his book TiHKAL
(Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), 5,6-MeO-MiPT produces no noticeable psychoactive effects. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 5,6-MeO-MiPT.
Methoxy
In chemistry , methoxy refers to the functional group consisting of a methyl group bound to oxygen. This alkoxy group has the formula O–CH3.The word is used in organic nomenclature usually to describe an ether...
-N-methyl-N-isopropyl
Isopropyl
In organic chemistry, isopropyl is a propyl with a group attached to the secondary carbon. If viewed as a functional group an isopropyl is an organic compound with a propyl group attached at its secondary carbon.The bond is therefore on the middle carbon....
