Isomers of 2C-B

[boiledfruit]

Hey everyone, my question is regarding isomers of 2c-b and isomers in general. As far as my understanding, DOB and 2C-B-FLY are both analogues of 2C-B, correct? So what I'm looking for are the names of isomers of 2C-B (or just 2Cs in general), the NBOMe family are not isomers, right?

Depends what you mean by "isomer". 2C-B doesn't have stereoisomers (which are mirror images of the molecule that cannot be superimposed on one another), but it has structural isomers (which are like chemical anagrams, molecules which have the same atoms but in a different arrangement). 2C-B is 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, so you could have, for instance, 3-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, 2-bromo-4,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine...I could go on. In answer to your question, no, the NBOMe derivatives are not isomers of their "parent" molecules. Have a read of the wikipedia page.

"Analogue" is a very vague term, for what it's worth.

I really don't know what I mean by isomer

What I'm hoping to get information on is the Canadian drug policy regarding 2c-b isomers.

Canada: CDSA Schedule III as "4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxybenzeneethanamine and any salt, isomer or salt of isomer thereof". - Wikipedia.

I understand the different salts, HCl, bromine salt or w/e, just curious to what kind of isomers this is referring to.

Probably they mean "steroisomers" by "isomers", but better check if they have some statement about this after list of scheduled chemicals.

it may actually be a wrong assumption about the existence of stereoisomers. Structural isomers can really be irrelevant since anything with the right formula C10H14BrNO2 is one. And they can be completely different.

I say never mind, especially if you are not sure what you are wanting to achieve.

pretty much everything 2c-b...


DOB, like all amphetamines has atleast 2 stereoisomers

I assume it means structural isomers as 2C-B doesn't have stereoisomers. Although, it's probably just a blanket statement that gets tacked on to any controlled drug whether it is relevant or not. DOB has exactly 2 stereoisomers.

^ As Solipsis said, it would be really strange, because 2C-B has plenty of structural isomers. It doesn't makes sense to prohibit them all.

Maybe you're right, who knows what they mean.
But I just checked their schedules, and they have:
(4) 4–methyl–2,5–dimethoxyamphetamine (STP), which has well-known structural isomer - 2C-E
(6) 2,5–dimethoxyamphetamine, which has well-known structural isomer - 2C-D
(14) 4–ethyl–2,5–dimethoxyamphetamine, which has (again) well-know structural isomer - 2C-P
All these substances(2C-D, 2C-E, and 2C-P) are sold in Canada.

They don't know what the **** they're talking about or yes I'd agree it's a blanket statement used in an opportunistic way I think.

Ah, you've made the fatal mistake of expecting drug laws to make sense
