TOM, or methylthio-methyl-methoxyamphetamine, is a series of lesser-known psychedelic drugs and substituted amphetamines with the molecular formula C₁₂H₁₉NOS. 2-TOM and 5-TOM are the 2- and 5-methylthio analogs of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM), respectively. They were first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book PiHKAL.[http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal171.shtml 2-TOM entry in PiHKAL][http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal172.shtml 5-TOM entry in PiHKAL] Very little is known about their dangers or toxicity.
