Analysis Note
The 2C amines are a family of illicit, psychedelic phenethylamines. The term "2C" refers to the two carbon atoms between the benzene ring and the amino group in the parent molecular structure. A rapid separation of four 2C amine compounds is shown here on an Ascentis Express HILIC column with TOF-MS detection. Cerilliant CRMs were used to ensure reliable MS identification and quantification.
