The introduction of arylmethyl substituents on the amine nitrogen atom of phenethylamines and tryptamines often results in profound increases in their affinity and functional activity at 5-HT2 serotonin receptors. To probe the sensitivity of this effect to substantially larger N-substituents, ten derivatives of the well-characterized psychedelic phenethylamine 2C-B were prepared by appending...
