Phenylacetylindoles

RCS-8

Summary RCS-8, also known as 1-(2-cyclohexyl ethyl)-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole and referred to as SR-18 and BTM-8, is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been identified as an ingredient in “herbal” synthetic cannabis mixtures. Structurally, it can be characterized as an analog of JWH-250, where the 1-pentyl group is replaced by 1-(2-cyclohexylethyl). As a result of this structural modification, …
