Summary
AI-generated from the abstractProton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were collected for 28 phenylethanamine compounds sold as psychedelics by 15 online vendors in North America and Europe. The samples included 2C and 2C-T series compounds, mescaline analogues, beta-substituted phenylethanamines, and N-substituted variants with NBOMe, NBOH, or NBMD moieties. Spectra for several of these substances had not been previously documented. The work provides a spectroscopic reference to aid identification of these substances.

Abstract
1H NMR spectra of 28 alleged psychedelic phenylethanamines from 15 grey-market internet vendors across North America and Europe were acquired and compared. Members from each of the principal phenylethanamine families were analyzed: eleven para-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyphenylethanamines (the 2C and 2C-T series); four para-substituted 3,5-dimethoxyphenylethanamines (mescaline analogues); two β-substituted phenylethanamines; and ten N-substituted phenylethanamines with a 2-methoxybenzyl (NBOMe), 2-hydroxybenzyl (NBOH), or 2,3-methylenedioxybenzyl (NBMD) amine moiety. 1H NMR spectra for some of these compounds have not been previously reported to our knowledge. Others have reported on the composition of
