Butilone

Butylone is a synthetic entactogen and stimulant of the substituted cathinone class. It is the β-keto analogue of MBDB and bears a structural relationship to methylone analogous to that between MBDB and MDMA. First synthesized in 1967, it remained academically obscure until 2005 when it emerged as a designer drug. Butylone is frequently sold as a substitute or counterfeit for MDMA and methylone under the collective street label "Molly," though its subjective effects are not identical to either substance.
