BOED, also known as 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-β-ethoxyphenethylamine or as β-ethoxy-2C-D, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and BOx families. It is the β-ethoxy derivative of 2C-D and homologue of BOD (β-methoxy-2C-D). The drug was briefly described by Alexander Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved). Its dose was said to be 70 to 75 mg orally and its duration was 10 hours. The drug was said to be about 3-fold less potent than BOD. Its effects included a highly intoxicated state, no visual effects, appetite suppression, and diuresis. The chemical synthesis of the drug was also briefly described. It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.

The final product, then, is the ethoxy homologue 2,5-dimethoxy-β-ethoxy-4-methylphenethylamine, or BOED. It is down in human potency by a factor of three, with a normal dosage being 70–75 milligrams. It has a ten-hour duration, and is both anorexic and diuretic. There have been no visual effects or insights reported, but rather simply a highly intoxicated state."
