G-4, also known as 3,4-tetramethylene-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as 6-(2-aminopropyl)-5,8-dimethoxytetralin, is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families.[1][2] It is one of several homologues of Ganesha (G).[1][2] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, Alexander Shulgin lists G-4's dose as unknown and its duration as unknown.[1][2] He was unable to complete the last step of its chemical synthesis and did not test it or determine its properties and effects.[1] The chemical synthesis of G-4 has been described.[1] G-4 was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1]
