βk-2C-I, or bk-2C-I, also known as β-keto-4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine or as β-keto-2C-I, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and 2C families related to 2C-I. It is the β-keto derivative of 2C-I and is cathinone-like in chemical structure. The drug is closely related to βk-2C-B. It is said to have a longer duration than 2C-I and to not be as intense in its effects as βk-2C-B. Concerns have been expressed about the potential toxicity of the iodine in βk-2C-I. The interactions of βk-2C-I with monoamine oxidase have been studied. βk-2C-I was encountered as a novel designer drug online by at least 2016 and was first described in the scientific literature by 2018. βk-2C-I is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.
