A method using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed to identify ten psychedelic phenethylamines and tryptamines, including 2C-B, 2C-I, 5-MeO-DMT, and 5-MeO-DIPT. Five reference standards were newly synthesized, and five were purified; all were confirmed by GC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. Between April 2005 and March 2007, eight of the ten compounds were detected in 100 out of 178 examined products.
