Editing 5-MeO-AMT (section)

==Chemistry==
5-MeO-AMT, also known as 5-methoxy-α-methyltryptamine, is a [[substituted tryptamine]] [[chemical derivative|derivative]]. It is a derivative of [[tryptamine]] (T), [[5-methoxytryptamine]] (5-MeO-T or 5-MT), and [[α-methyltryptamine]] (AMT or αMT) and is an [[structural analog|analogue]] of other tryptamines like [[α-methylserotonin]] (5-HO-AMT) and [[5-MeO-DMT]]. Some derivatives of 5-MeO-AMT include [[α,N,O-TMS|α,''N''-dimethyl-5-methoxytryptamine]] (5-MeO-α-Me-NMT or α,''N'',''O''-TMS) and [[α,N,N,O-TMS|α,''N'',''N''-trimethyl-5-methoxytryptamine]] (5-MeO-α-Me-DMT or α,''N'',''N'',''O''-TMS). As noted by [[Alexander Shulgin]], the α-methylated [[tryptamine]]s can be looked at as the tryptamine homologues of the [[substituted amphetamine|amphetamine]]s (α-methylated phenethylamines).

5-MeO-AMT is [[soluble]] in [[water]] and [[ethanol]] but not in [[ether]].<ref name="Shulgin1979" />
