The authors suggested that this compound was a by-product of 2C-B synthesis.<ref name="Netherlands 2c-b emergence" />

In 2011, street prices in the United States ranged between $10 and $30 per tablet when purchased in small quantities.<ref name="DEA - Evaluation Section" /> Larger retail purchases cost between $200 and $500 per gram. Wholesale purchases of 2C-B would lower the price ($100 to $300 per gram in 2001, $30 to $100 on the [[darknet]] in 2020).<ref name="Reappears">{{cite web|title=2C-B (Nexus) Reappears on the Club Drug Scene|url=https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs0/665/665p.pdf|work=National Drug Intelligence Center|publisher=Department of Justice|access-date=11 February 2013 |date=May 2001}}</ref>
