2C-B-FLY is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Aaron P. Monte, and is sometimes used as an entheogen.

[edit] Chemistry
2C-B-FLY is 8-bromo-2,3,6,7-benzo-dihydro-difuran-ethylamine. The full name of the chemical is 2-(8-bromo-2,3,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-f][1]benzofuran-4-yl)ethanamine.
In theory, dihydrodifuran analogues of any of the 2Cx / DOx family of drugs could be made, and would be expected to show similar activity to the parent compound. So in the same way that 2C-B-FLY is the dihydrodifuran analogue of 2C-B, the 8-iodo equivalent 2C-I-FLY would be the dihydrodifuran analogue of 2C-I, and the 8-methyl equivalent 2C-M-FLY would be the dihydrodifuran analogue of 2C-D.
Other related compounds can also be produced, where the alpha carbon of the ethylamine chain is methylated, the amphetamine derivative 3C-B-FLY would be made, this compound being the dihydrodifuran analogue of DOB, and would also be the unsaturated equivalent of Bromo-DragonFLY.
Where only one methoxy group of a 2Cx drug is cyclised into a dihydrofuran ring, the resulting compound is known as a "hemifly", and when an saturated furan ring is used the compound is known as a "hemi-dragonfly". A large family of compounds can thus be derived, many of which can be predicted to be active hallucinogens based on the known structure-activity relationships of these drugs, although most of these compounds have not yet been made and tested.
[edit] Dosage
Alexander Shulgin lists a dosage of 2C-B-FLY at 10 mg orally.
However, various other information reveals that 2C-B-FLY is active as low as 1 mg[citation needed].
[edit] Effects
2C-B-FLY produces psychedelic effects that last 6–8 hours, or up to 12 hours in larger doses.
[edit] Legality
2C-B-FLY is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States. However, it may fall under the scope of the Federal Analog Act if it is intended for human consumption given its similarity to 2C-B.
[edit] Pharmacology
The hallucinogenic effect of 2C-B-FLY is mediated by its partial agonistic activity at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, but 2C-B-FLY also has a high binding affinity for the 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C serotonin receptor[citation needed].
[edit] Dangers
The toxicity of 2C-B-FLY is not known. Like many other 2C-_ drugs, 2C-B-FLY may have the potential to induce HPPD.
