Alexander Shulgin attempted to synthesise this compound in the 1990s, and mentions it in his book PiHKAL under the entry for 2C-T-21, but was unsuccessful in producing a key intermediate and never assigned it a 2C-T number. This compound was ultimately first synthesised by Geoffrey Varty and colleagues at Irish biopharmaceutical company Cybin in 2023.[3]
