Physical properties
Each value as its source reports it, with the source's number after it (listed under References). Where several sources report a property, the row shows the value most of them agree on, the rule the app uses; open the values to see every one.

Isotope pattern
Each peak is a nominal mass with its abundance-weighted exact mass, as a percentage of the tallest, from IUPAC natural isotope abundances.
Computed from the structure with RDKit 2026.09 when this page was built, beside PubChem's own computed values from its record; where the two differ, both are shown.
Predicted
- log P
- 3.12 Crippen (Wildman and Crippen 1999)
- log S (water solubility)
- -2.5 ESOL (Delaney 2004), log mol/L
- Synthetic accessibility
- 1 SA score, 1 easy to 10 hard (Ertl and Schuffenhauer 2009)
Drug-likeness: Lipinski’s rule of five
- Molecular weight ≤ 500: 112.22
- log P ≤ 5 (Crippen): 3.12
- H-bond donors ≤ 5: 0
- H-bond acceptors ≤ 10: 0
Passes all four rules.
¹³C NMR shifts, predicted
Predictions, not measurements; each names its method. A measured log P, where a source reports one, is under Physical properties.
