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
- -1.04 Crippen (Wildman and Crippen 1999)
- log S (water solubility)
- -0.15 ESOL (Delaney 2004), log mol/L
- Synthetic accessibility
- 2.79 SA score, 1 easy to 10 hard (Ertl and Schuffenhauer 2009)
Drug-likeness: Lipinski’s rule of five
- Molecular weight ≤ 500: 219.24
- log P ≤ 5 (Crippen): -1.04
- H-bond donors ≤ 5: 4
- H-bond acceptors ≤ 10: 4
Passes all four rules.
