Anyone have any idea what this'd be like? Only information i can find on it:

From PiHKAL #33 (2C-I)

Where else can one go, from 2C-I? The iodine is the fourth, and the last of the so-called halogens, at the bottom of the classical periodic table. But, thanks to the miracles that have accompanied us into the nuclear age, there is a fifth halide now known, Astatine. All of its isotopes are radioactive, however, and it seems unlikely that there will ever be an entry (other than this one) for 2,5-dimethoxy-4-astatophenethylamine. What might be speculated as to its activity? Probably similar in potency to 2C-I, requiring maybe 10 or 20 milligrams. The duration would be dicey to measure, since the isotope with the longest known half-life is half decayed in about 8 hours, and the longest lived natural isotope (for those who insist on natural rather than man-made things) is half decayed in less than a minute. Two predictions would be pretty solid. You might have quite a job accumulating your 10 milligrams of Astatine, as the most that has so far been made at one time is only about 0.05 micrograms, approximately a millionth of the amount needed. And the second prediction? You would not survive the screaming radiation that would bombard you if you could get the needed 5 or 10 milligrams of radio-astatine onto that magic 4-position, and the resulting 2C-A into your tummy!

Its available to me at 20x the price of other 2cx's. Not sure if this is the right forum, but i'm sure id be most likely to get responses from here. any info appreciated :)
 
The listing of this for sale is an April Fools Joke by a vendor. It has never been synthesized and most likely never will be unless we find a much more stable isotope and someone is crazy enough to bother.
 
The longest lived isotope of astatine, would decompose before it even got from the lab to the post depot, let alone from the post depot to your doorstep, making the family cat glow in the dark as it went.
 
I like how the OP, not only fell for an April's Fools joke, but also didn't get another joke by shulgin and posted it with a straight face.

Sorry, I don't mean to make fun of you. But this just begs for it!
 
ha, s'ok. April fool's jokes wouldn't be funny if no one fell for them. If I hadn't read the entry in PiHKAL ages ago I likely would've taken that vendor's posting literally as well.
 
Astatine is for pussies

Haha, to answer to OP, I imagine the trip would feel somewhat like 2C-I, but with the added bonus of free cancer! I'd say it's worth 20x the cash :-).
 
maybe you could make into a cyclic dragonfly like astato-dragonfly where the alkyl is made cyclic. Then you could trip while the radiation destroys u, trip till u die. That might b interesting. and it would b more potent so u'd need less astatine in the synth
 
I don't believe this would even make you trip. The radiation would bombard any receptors this would have affinity to, so...
 
Psychedelic drugs with radioactive atoms substituted somewhere on the molecule would make fascinating poisons, directly damaging the receptors in the brain where the drug binds to the most, right? Especially if the atom in question emits alpha rays, it would be pretty discriminate in the kind of brain damage it would cause.
 
Firstable, astatine is radioactive, secondable, half-life of the most stable isotope is very short (yes, it's over 8 hours) so let's say 2C-A, like you called it, is likely to exist but I wouldn't take it myself while other psychedelics are available. Astatine is a halogen but it's different than the others from the group, it's kind of metallic to start with and imagine how big an atom of astatine is. ;p
 
If you want a radioactive drug, it would be much easier to use a radioactive isotope of a common element, like iodine in 2C-I. Iodine-131 is much more readily available and easier to produce, for that matter.

'Course, this is all academic hornswaggle; I don't know why you would want to do this in the first place, other than tracking the drug's metabolism in the brain (which, I believe, this has already been done).

131 Iodine 2CI would have certain advantages in that it would be a self legalising compound, leave it for 80 -100 days and it would no longer be an illegal compound.
