Infobox references

3C-DFE is a lesser-known psychedelic drug, which is a fluorinated derivative of 3C-E. It was first synthesised by Daniel Trachsel in 2002,^[1][2] and has been reported as showing similar psychedelic activity to related compounds, with a dose range of around 20-40 mg and a duration of approximately 10 hours.^[3]:736 Despite its reported psychedelic activity, binding studies in vitro showed 3C-DFE to have a surprisingly weak binding affinity of 2695 nM at 5-HT_2A with negligible affinity at 5-HT_2C,^[3]:737 making it only slightly higher affinity than mescaline, despite its higher potency in vivo.
