MEE, also known as 2-methoxy-4,5-diethoxyamphetamine or as TMA2-4,5-DiEtO, is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families related to the psychedelic drug TMA-2.[1][2][3] It is the analogue of TMA-2 in which the methoxy groups at the 4 and 5 positions have been replaced with ethoxy groups.[1][2][3] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists MEE's dose as greater than 4.6 mg orally and its duration as unknown.[1] The drug produced no effects at tested doses.[1] The chemical synthesis of MEE has been described.[1][3] MEE was first described in the scientific literature by Shulgin in 1968.[3] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1]
