3C-P, also known as 4-propoxy-3,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, is a psychedelic phenethylamine. It has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to the drugs mescaline, proscaline, and amphetamine. Little information exists on the human pharmacology of 3C-P, but a psychedelic dosage appears to be 20–40 mg, and is accompanied by stimulant and psychedelic effects such as visual enhancement and distortion. It can be synthesized from syringaldehyde by reaction with n-propyl iodide followed by condensation with nitroethane and reduction. 3C-P acts as a serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist.
3C-P has been sold online as a designer drug and was first detected in September 2013 in Finland.
