The Changing of Things with a Chain and a Ring:
Phenethylamine Fantasies
What occurred in these walls
in those halcyon days,
w’the Old Rascal’s tech-
niques in their prime?
With Beethoven blasting,
the years went on passing
atoms bonded & danced
the classical keeping the time.
With ßeta-nitrostyrenes
reduced in his daydreams,
(the novelty spreading like
white hairs on his head);
the Phenethyl-fantasies
of his nocturnal chemistry
progressing as he lay in his bed.
He once lost alpha’s methyl,
which made the chain ethyl,
these changes and then
a hundred or more!
Then at C4 a chlorine, then
a bromine, then fluorine,
in a flash placed a thiol at four.
With this change a new series!
ALEPH-like but two Cs
These ideas become pages
in a tome called Pihkal.
Initial 2,5-substitutions?
Handled with a simple solution
The hillside Hierophantes
first methoxy ‘em all, as
he’d go sliding & gliding
with his gentle hands guiding
the delicate glass that
he’d employed for his task;
Each refluxing reaction
and condensing contraption
yielt his triple-neck gifts
borne of round-bottom flasks.

Only Friends are Real.
Embrace. Shulgin-ness.
DO BETTER!
