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: 0.36 Crippen (Wildman and Crippen 1999)
log S (water solubility): -0.36 ESOL (Delaney 2004), log mol/L
Synthetic accessibility: 2.01 SA score, 1 easy to 10 hard (Ertl and Schuffenhauer 2009)

Drug-likeness: Lipinski’s rule of five

Molecular weight ≤ 500: 59.11
log P ≤ 5 (Crippen): 0.36
H-bond donors ≤ 5: 1
H-bond acceptors ≤ 10: 1

Passes all four rules.

First aid

Call a physician. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Eyes: 15-Minute emergency eye washing. See physician as soon as possible. Skin: Wash with soap and water. Flush for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Ingestion: Wash mouth, drink water, get medical aid. (USCG, 1999)[1]
General First Aid: · Call 911 or emergency medical service. · Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and avoid contamination. · Move victim to fresh air if it can be done safely. · Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. · If victim is not breathing: -- DO NOT perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; the victim may have ingested or inhaled the substance. -- If equipped and pulse detected, wash face and mouth, then give artificial respiration using a proper respiratory medical device (bag-valve mask, pocket mask equipped…[7]
Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer immediately for medical attention.[3]
First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer immediately for medical attention.[3]

Storage

Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids and food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well closed. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.[3]
Outside or detached storage is prefered. Avoid oxidizing material, acids, and sources of halogen. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.[4]

Incompatibilities

Violent reaction with oxidizers and mercury, strong acids, organic anhydrides, isocyanates, aldehydes, nitroparrafins, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols and many other compounds. Attacks many metals and alloys, especially copper. Aqueous solutions may attack glass.[4]
Incompatible with triethynyl aluminum[4]
