Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Cingulate Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-276502) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), and the related prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”). We are rendering this opinion in connection with the filing by the Company of the Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale by the Company (the “Offering”) of up to: (i) $10,000,000 of (A) shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), (B) pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), (C) the shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (D) series A warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrants”), (E) shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrant Shares”), (F) series B warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants,” together with the Series A Warrants, the “Investor Warrants”) and (G) shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrant Shares,” together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Investor Warrant Shares”); and (ii) warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to 8.0% of the shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the offering as contemplated pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares,” and, together with the Shares, the Investor Warrants, the Investor Warrant Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance, and when issued and paid for by the purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) when the Pre-Funded Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and paid for by the purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus, the Pre-Funded Warrants will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles, (iii) the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued upon the due exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (iv) when the Investor Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and paid for by the purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus, the Investor Warrants will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles, (v) the Investor Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued upon the due exercise of the Investor Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (vi) the Placement Agents Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus, the Placement Agent Warrants will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles and (vii) the Placement Agent Warrant Shares, have been duly authorized and, when issued upon the due exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
