Methallylescaline (MAL) Fumarate
Synonyms: MAL / 4-methallyloxy-3,5-methoxyphenethylamine, 2-{3,5-dimethoxy-4-[(2-methylprop-2-en-1-yl)oxy]phenyl}ethanamine
Methallylescaline, or 4-methallyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a substituted phenethylamine featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain. Methallylescaline contains two methoxy functional groups (CH3O-) which are attached to carbons R3 and R5 of the phenyl ring.
Methallylescaline is substituted at R4 with a methallyloxy chain. This three carbon chain consists of a R2 methyl substituted allyl group with a double bond on the terminal carbon. This chain is connected to the phenyl ring at R4 through an ether (oxygen) bridge.

Methallylescaline (MAL) Fumarate is a synthetic psychedelic compound from the phenethylamine family, structurally related to mescaline. Like other phenethylamines, it has psychoactive effects, often producing altered states of consciousness, visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought patterns, and mood elevation.
Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
- Methallylescaline (MAL): The base compound, methallylescaline, is a mescaline analog, meaning it shares a similar chemical structure but differs due to a methallyl group attached to its molecular structure. This modification affects its potency, duration, and effects compared to mescaline.
- Fumarate: This refers to the fumaric acid salt form of methallylescaline, which makes the compound more stable and easier to handle in its solid state. Fumarate salts are often used in research chemicals to improve the compound’s solubility and shelf life.
Effects: Methallylescaline is known to produce effects similar to mescaline but with its own unique profile. Common effects include visual hallucinations, enhanced colors, altered perception of time and space, and euphoria. It may also cause introspective or spiritual experiences depending on the dose.
As with many research chemicals, Methallylescaline (MAL) Fumarate has limited research data on its safety, pharmacology, and long-term effects, so its use should be approached with caution. Its legal status varies by country and region, and it’s typically classified as a research chemical rather than a controlled substance in many places.
Relevant identified uses: For research use only, not for human or veterinary use.
