3C-AL, also known as 4-allyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as α-methylallylescaline (3C-allylescaline), is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and 3C families related to 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine (TMA).[3][1][2] It is the amphetamine (3C) analogue of allylescaline.[3][1][2] The drug has a dose range of 15 to 30 mg orally and a duration of 8 to 12 hours.[1][2] Its effects have been described as more visual than those of allylescaline.[1] The drug is a potent partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and also interacts with other serotonin receptors and targets.[2] The chemical synthesis of 3C-AL has been described.[3][4] 3C-AL was described by Alexander Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), but he did not synthesize or test 3C-AL.[3] Instead, Daniel Trachsel synthesized 3C-AL in 2002[4] and described its properties and effects in 2013.[1] The pharmacology of 3C-AL was studied in greater detail in 2021.[2]
