'''BOH''', also known as '''3,4-methylenedioxy-β-methoxyphenethylamine''', is a [[drug]] of the [[substituted phenethylamine|phenethylamine]] class.<ref name="isbn0-9630096-0-5">{{cite book | author = Ann Shulgin; Alexander Shulgin | title = Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story | publisher = Transform Press | location = | year = 1991 | pages = | isbn = 0-9630096-0-5 | oclc = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref> It is the β-[[methoxy]] [[analogue (chemistry)|analogue]] of [[methylenedioxyphenethylamine]] (MDPEA), and is also more distantly related to [[methylone]]. On account of its similarity to [[norepinephrine]], the effects of BOH may be of a purely [[adrenergic]] nature.<ref name="isbn0-9630096-0-5">{{cite book | author = Ann Shulgin; Alexander Shulgin | title = Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story | publisher = Transform Press | location = | year = 1991 | pages = | isbn = 0-9630096-0-5 | oclc = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref>

BOH was first [[Chemical synthesis|synthesized]] by [[Alexander Shulgin]].<ref name="isbn0-9630096-0-5">{{cite book | author = Ann Shulgin; Alexander Shulgin | title = Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story | publisher = Transform Press | location = | year = 1991 | pages = | isbn = 0-9630096-0-5 | oclc = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref> In his book [[PiHKAL]], the dosage range is listed as 80–120&nbsp;mg, and the duration listed as 6–8 hours. Shulgin reports that BOH causes slight [[hyperthermia|warmth]], [[mydriasis]], [[anorexia (symptom)|anorexia]], mild [[nausea]], and [[cold feet]], with no [[psychedelic drug|psychedelic]], [[entactogen]], or [[euphoriant]] effects.<ref name="isbn0-9630096-0-5">{{cite book | author = Ann Shulgin; Alexander Shulgin | title = Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story | publisher = Transform Press | location = | year = 1991 | pages = | isbn = 0-9630096-0-5 | oclc = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref> He gives it a ++ on the [[Shulgin Rating Scale]].<ref name="isbn0-9630096-0-5">{{cite book | author = Ann Shulgin; Alexander Shulgin | title = Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story | publisher = Transform Press | location = | year = 1991 | pages = | isbn = 0-9630096-0-5 | oclc = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref> Very little is known about the [[pharmacology]], [[pharmacokinetic]]s, [[therapeutic effect|effect]]s, and [[toxicity]] of BOH.
