Physical properties

Appearance
White to slightly pink crystalline powder[1]
Solubility in water
Practically insoluble in water (less than 10 mg/L)[1]

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.

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.

Drug-likeness: Lipinski’s rule of five

  • Molecular weight ≤ 500: 315.68
  • log P ≤ 5 (Crippen): 4.07
  • H-bond donors ≤ 5: 1
  • H-bond acceptors ≤ 10: 2

Passes all four rules.
