3C-E is a [[psychedelic]] [[hallucinogenic drug]] and [[entheogen]] of the [[phenethylamine]] class of compounds. 3C-E was probably first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]]. In his book [[PiHKAL]] (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 30 to 60 mg, consumed orally.  The duration of action was stated to be 8-12 hours <ref>{{CitePiHKAL}}</ref>.  3C-E can be considered illegal in the [[United States|U.S.]] as a result of the [[Federal Analog Act|Analogue Act]], although it is not itself scheduled; it is also illegal in [[Australia]].  

This compound is the three-carbon chain analogue of [[escaline]].
