2C-G-4

2C-G-4, also known as 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-(tetramethylene)phenethylamine or as 6-(2-aminoethyl)-5,8-dimethoxytetralin, is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine and 2C families.^[1] It is the derivative of 2C-G (2C-G-0) in which the 3,4-dimethyl groups have been connected via two additional carbon atoms to form a cyclohexane ring attached to the benzene ring and hence has a tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) ring system.^[1] The compound was included by Alexander Shulgin as an entry in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).^[1] However, Shulgin was unable to complete the last step of the chemical synthesis of the compound and never tested it.^[1] In any case, he anticipated that it would be an active compound.^[1] The synthesis of 2C-G-4 has been described.^[1] 2C-G-4 was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.^[1]
