Juno, also known as 4,6-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as 6-methyl-DOM, is a possible psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families related to DOM. "And there is the 6-hydrogen atom [of DOM] which can become a 6-methyl group to produce a compound called JUNO, who is pretty much a lady’s lady, or should I say a woman’s woman." [...] "And, finally, JUNO (3,6-dimethoxy-2,4-dimethylamphetamine) has been made (from 2,5-dimethoxy-m-xylene, which was reacted with POCl3 and N-methylformanilide to the benzaldehyde, mp 53–54 °C, and to the nitrostyrene with nitroethane, mp 73–74 °C from cyclohexane, and to the final amine hydrochloride with LAH in THF). Rather amazingly, I have had JUNO on the shelf for almost 14 years and have not yet gotten around to tasting it." It is the 6-methyl derivative of DOM and a positional isomer of Ganesha (3-methyl-DOM). The drug is one of Alexander Shulgin's "ten classic ladies", a series of methylated DOM derivatives. DOM, Ganesha, and DOTMA (Julia; 3,6-dimethyl-DOM) are all known to be active psychedelics, so Juno is expected to be an active psychedelic as well, but has not yet been tested. Juno was first described by Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved). He shared in PiHKAL that he had had Juno on a shelf in his lab for almost 14years but had never gotten around to trying it. It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language. The drug is not an explicitly controlled substance in the United States, but may be considered scheduled as an isomer of DOET.
