N-Hydroxy-DOM, also known as 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-N-hydroxyamphetamine or as DOM-OH, is a possible psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families related to DOM.^[1][2][3] It is the N-hydroxy derivative of DOM.^[1][2][3] The drug was not included nor mentioned by Alexander Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and its properties and effects in humans are unknown.^[4][3] N-Hydroxy-DOM was reported to produce DOM-like behavioral and physiological effects in rats, including pupil dilation and hypolocomotion among others, but was 6-fold less potent than DOM in this species.^[1][5] It also appears to be a metabolite of DOM formed by the liver in rabbits.^[2] Other N-hydroxy derivatives of phenethylamines such as the HOT-x series like HOT-2 (N-hydroxyl-2C-T-2) as well as MDOH (N-hydroxy-MDA) may act as prodrugs of their N-unsubstituted analogues.^[4] The chemical synthesis of N-hydroxy-DOM has been described.^[5] N-Hydroxy-DOM was first described in the scientific literature by Ronald Coutts and Jerry Malicky by 1973.^[5][6]

N-Hydroxylation of III gives a compound possessing clinical activity (66). Coutts and Malicky (72) evaluated several congeners of II. One, the N-hydroxy derivative (XXI), elicited behavioral effects in rats but at about six times the dosage required for II.
