Abstract

The solid-state structures of 4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium (4-HO-DET) hydro­fumarate {systematic name: dieth­yl[2-(4-hy­droxy-1H-indol-3-yl)eth­yl]aza­nium 3-carb­oxy­prop-2-enoate}, C14H21N2O+·C4H3O4−, and 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium (4-AcO-DET) fumarate/fumaric acid {systematic name: bis­{[2-(4-acet­oxy-1H-indol-3-yl)eth­yl]di­ethyl­aza­nium} but-2-ene­dio­ate–(E)-butenedioic acid (1/1)}, 2C16H23N2O2+·C4H2O42−·C4H4O4, were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The 4-HO-DET structure exhibits a single tryptammonium cation and a single hydro­fumarate anion in the asymmetric unit. The ions are joined together by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in two-dimensional sheets lying in the (001) plane. The 4-AcO-DET structure exhibits a single tryptammonium cation, half of a fumarate dianion and half of a fumaric acid mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The ions and mol­ecules are joined together by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in an infinite three-dimensional network.

1. Chemical context

Psychedelics, entactogens and psychoplastogens have gained a great deal of inter­est recently in the treatment of major depressive disorder, generalised anxiety disorders, and treatment-resistant depression (Hoyer, 2025 ▸). Psilocybin (4-phosphor­yloxy-N,N-di­methyl­tryptamine) is a natural product found in ‘magic mushrooms’, and is one traditional psychedelic that is being explored to treat mental health disorders. Psilocybin enzymatically hydrolyses to its active metabolite psilocin (4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­methyl­tryptamine), which is the primary psychoactive compound found in ‘magic mushrooms’ due to its action as a potent agonist of the serotonin 2A receptor (Glatfelter, Pottie et al., 2022 ▸). In 1959, Albert Hofmann reported the synthesis of the diethyl derivative of psilocybin, ethocybin (4-phosphor­yloxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptamine), and the diethyl derivative of psilocin, ethocin (4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptamine; 4-HO-DET) (Troxler et al., 1959 ▸). In 1989, Jochem Gartz showed that both of these diethyl derivatives can be produced in mushrooms by introducing the unsubstituted tryptamine, N,N-di­ethyl­tryptamine, to the mycelium of Psilocybe mushrooms (Gartz, 1989 ▸). 4-HO-DET shows strong binding at the serotonin 2A receptor and is known to be psychoactive. There is also a synthetic prodrug of 4-HO-DET, 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptamine (4-AcO-DET), which was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann (Hofmann & Troxler, 1963 ▸). As a prodrug, 4-AcO-DET does not show binding at the serotonin 2A receptor (Glatfelter, Naeem et al., 2023 ▸), but it demonstrates similar molar efficacy to 4-HO-DET in animal studies as it quickly hydrolyses to produce 4-HO-DET (Klein et al., 2021 ▸). Recently, 4-AcO-DET and 4-HO-DET have appeared in products for sale in US retail stores and online. Products marketed as psilocybin-containing ‘magic mushroom’ edibles frequently contain no psilocybin. In a recent analysis of twelve gummy and chocolate products sold as ‘magic mushroom’ edibles, psilocybin was not detected in any sample; the active constituents identified instead included synthetic tryptamines and other undisclosed compounds (van Breeman et al., 2025 ▸).1.

Tryptomics, LLC analyzes commercial samples with a tryptamine assay that provides testing for an array of compounds often found in psychoactive substances. Across anonymously analyzed samples using HPLC-DAD technology following solvent and sonication extraction protocols 4-AcO-DET and/or 4-HO-DET were found in 87 samples. Twenty-five samples that were extracts and isolates showed the widest and highest range of 4-AcO-DET content (2.1–733.5 mg g−1), with 4-HO-DET content reaching a maximum value of 981.8 mg g−1. Sixty samples of infused edibles had maximum concentrations of 16.42 and 37.02 mg g−1 for 4-AcO-DET and 4-HO-DET, respectively; these concentrations corresponded to edible package contents of 58.8 mg/package for 4-AcO-DET and 72.9 mg/package for 4-HH-DET. One inhalable sample contained 14.6 mg g−1 of 4-AcO-DET. Reported orally actived doses of 4-AcO-DET are on the order of tens of milligrams (Shulgin & Shulgin, 1997 ▸). The per-package contents measured here therefore correspond to several such doses in a single retail unit. As these new psychoactive substances become more prevalent in the marketplace, the study of these materials and their properties becomes more important. As such the crystal structures of 4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptamine as its hydro­fumarate salt and 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptamine as a fumarate salt with a fumaric acid adduct are reported.

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure of 4-HO-DET hydro­fumarate is shown in Fig. 1 ▸. The asymmetric unit contains one 4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium (C14H21N2O+) cation and one hydro­fumarate (C4H3O4−) anion. The indole ring of the cation is near planar with a r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.007 Å for the non-hydrogen atoms. The hydro­fumarate anion is slightly less planar with a r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.053 Å for non-hydrogen atoms. The ethyl­amino arm of the tryptamine is turned away from the indole plane with a C7—C8—C9—C10 torsion angle of 76.0 (3)° and the C8—C9—C10—N2 grouping has an anti conformation [torsion angle = 177.2 (2)°]. Each ethyl group is disordered over two orientations with C11 and C12 showing a 0.80 (3):0.20 (3) ratio and C13 and C14 showing a 0.82 (2):0.18 (2) ratio.

The mol­ecular structure of 4-AcO-DET fumarate/fumaric acid is shown in Fig. 2 ▸. The asymmetric unit contains one 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium (C16H23N2O2+) cation, one half of a fumarate (C4H2O42−) dianion, and one half of a fumaric acid (C4H4O4) mol­ecule. The indole ring system of the cation is near planar with a r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.013 Å. The ethyl­amino arm is turned away from the indole plane with a C7—C8—C9—C10 torsion angle of 73.5 (3)° and the C8—C9—C10—N2 grouping has an anti conformation [torsion angle = 174.0 (2)°]. The complete fumarate dianion is generated through inversion, and is near planar with a r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.025 Å. The complete fumaric acid dianion is generated similarly and only slightly less planar with a r.m.s. deviation of 0.044 Å.

3. Supra­molecular features

In 4-HO-DET hydro­fumarate, the hy­droxy groups of the tryptammonium cations are connected to the hydro­fumarate anion in the asymmetric unit via O1—H1⋯O2 hydrogen bonds. The carb­oxy­lic acid groups of the hydro­fumarate anions are connected to another hydro­fumarate anion via O5—H5A··O3 hydrogen bonds. The indole nitro­gen atoms are connected with the hy­droxy group of another tryptammonium cation through N1—H1⋯O1 hydrogen bonds. Finally, the ethyl­ammonium nitro­gen hydrogen bonds through N2—H2⋯O3 inter­actions with hydro­fumarate anions. These hydrogen bonds are summarized in Table 1 ▸, and join the ions in the solid together into two-dimensional sheets lying in the (100) plane. The packing of these ions is shown in Fig. 3 ▸ (left).

The hydrogen bonds (Tables 1 ▸ and 2 ▸) are shown as dashed lines. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. Hydrogen atoms not involved in hydrogen bonding are omitted for clarity. Only the major components of disordered residues are shown.

In 4-AcO-DET fumarate/fumaric acid, the ethyl­ammonium nitro­gen has a bifurcated hydrogen bond with the two oxygen atoms of the fumaric acid as N2—H2⋯(O3,O4) inter­actions. The indole N atom hydrogen bonds to one of the O atoms of the fumaric acid via N1—H1⋯O4 inter­actions. The fumaric acid also hydrogen bonds to the fumarate dianion through the O5—H5A⋯O3 inter­action. These hydrogen bonds are summarized in Table 2 ▸, and join the ions in the solid together into an infinite three-dimensional network. The packing of these ions is shown in Fig. 3 ▸ (right).

4. Database survey

There are 14 crystal structures of 4-hy­droxy­tryptamines reported in the literature. These are the natural products psilocin, 4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­methyl­tryptamine, as its freebase (Petcher & Weber, 1974 ▸; CCDC refcode PSILIN) and norpsilocin, 4-hy­droxy-N-methyl­tryptamine, as its freebase and fumarate salt (Chadeayne et al., 2020c ▸; MULXAV, MULXEZ). Three synthetic variants of norpsilocin have been reported, 4-hy­droxy-N-iso­propyl­tryptamine (Laban et al., 2023 ▸; YEYZOV), 4-hy­droxy-N-n-propyl­tryptamine and 4-hy­droxy-N-ethyl­tryptamine (Naeem et al., 2026 ▸). The synthetic variants of psilocin that have been reported are 4-hy­droxy-N,N-diiso­propyl­tryptamine as its hydro­fumarate salt (Naeem et al., 2025 ▸; BUWSOF), 4-hy­droxy-N,N-di-n-propyl­tryptamine as its chloride (Sammeta et al., 2020 ▸; WAMGEA) and fumarate (Chadeayne, Pham et al., 2019b ▸; WUCGAF) salts, and 4-hy­droxy-N-methyl-N-iso­propyl­tryptamine as its hydro­fumarate (Chadeayne, Pham et al., 2019a ▸; RONSUL) and fumarate (Chadeayne, 2020b ▸; TUFQAP) salts. There are also four quaternary 4-hy­droxy­tryptamines that are reported as their iodide salts in 4-hy­droxy-N,N,N-tri­methyl­tryptammonium (Chadeayne et al., 2020a ▸; XUXFAA), 4-hy­droxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-ethyl­tryptammonium, 4-hy­droxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-n-propyl­tryptammonium and 4-hy­droxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-iso­propyl­tryptammonium (Glatfelter, Pham et al., 2022 ▸; EDOYIJ, EDOYUV, EDOZIK).

There are 11 crystal structures of 4-acet­oxy­tryptamines reported in the literature. There is one monoalkyltryptamine with 4-acet­oxy-N-methyl­tryptamine (Glatfelter, Pottie et al., 2022 ▸). There are four quaternary 4-acet­oxy­tryptamines reported as their iodide salts in 4-acet­oxy-N,N,N-tri­methyl­tryptammonium (Chadeayne et al., 2020a ▸; XUXDUS), 4-acet­oxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-ethyl­tryptammonium, 4-acet­oxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-n-propyl­tryptammonium and 4-acet­oxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-iso­propyl­tryptammonium (Glatfelter, Pham et al., 2022 ▸; EDOZEG, EDOYOP, EDOZAC). There are six di­alkyl­tryptamines with 4-acet­oxy-N-ethyl-N-n-propyl­trypt­amine as a fumarate/fumaric acid compound (Pham et al., 2023 ▸; BIYKED), 4-acet­oxy-N-methyl-N-ethyl­tryptamine as its hydro­fumarate salt, 4-acet­oxy-N-methyl-N-allyl­tryptamine as its hydro­fumarate salt, 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­allyl­tryptamine as a fumarate/fumaric acid compound (Pham et al., 2021 ▸; OJIQIK, OJIQOQ, OJIQUW), and 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­methyl­tryptamine as both fumarate (Chadeayne, Golen et al., 2019b ▸; XOFDOO) and hydro­fumarate (Chadeayne, Golen et al., 2019a ▸; HOCJUH) salts. The structure of 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­allyl­tryptammonium fumarate/fumaric acid is the most similar to the reported structure of 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium fumarate/fumaric acid, demonstrating the same space group, general packing, and similar unit-cell parameters.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Single crystals of 4-hy­droxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium hydro­fumarate suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from the slow evaporation of an ethano­lic solution of a commercial sample (ChemLogix). Single crystals of 4-acet­oxy-N,N-di­ethyl­tryptammonium fumarate/fumaric acid suitable for X-ray analysis were grown from the slow evaporation of a methanol/acetone solution of a commercial sample (The Indole Shop).

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3 ▸. The H atoms bonded to C atoms were included in the refinement using riding models. The H atoms bonded to heteroatoms (N and O) were located in difference-Fourier maps and were refined isotropically with the use of DFIX commands. The ethyl groups in 4-HO-DET are disordered over two orientations and refined with the use of DFIX, SADI and DELU commands resulting in occupancies for C11 and C12 of 0.80 (3):0.20 (3), and for C13 and C14 of 0.82 (2):0.18 (2).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
