2C-O-4, also known as 4-isopropoxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a phenethylamine of the 2C family.[1] It is also a positional isomer of isoproscaline and was probably first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin.[1] It produces hallucinogenic or psychedelic effects.[1] Because of the low potency of 2C-O-4, and the inactivity of 2C-O, Shulgin felt that the 2C-O series would not be an exciting area for research, and did not pursue any further analogues.[1]

Use and effects
Little is known about the psychopharmacological effects of 2C-O-4.[1] Based on the one report available in his book PiHKAL, Shulgin lists the dose of 2C-O-4 as being >60 mg.[1] At 60 mg, threshold psychoactive effects occurred.[1] These included awareness of something in the front part of the head, yawning, physiological changes, and a general exhilaration and excitement.[1] The effects lasted a few hours and were rated as a +1 on the Shulgin Rating Scale.[1] The drug was regarded as remaining to be fully explored.[1]
