C20H22N2O4S

C20H22N2O4S is the molecular formula for a set of organic compounds that share this elemental composition. The formula does not specify a unique structure; many constitutional isomers can have the same formula, and different arrangements of atoms lead to distinct substances with varying properties.

The approximate molecular weight of C20H22N2O4S is 386.47 g/mol. Beyond the elemental counts, the identity and behavior of a compound with this formula depend on how the atoms are connected and arranged, including the presence and position of functional groups such as amides, esters, sulfonamides, carbonyls, or heterocyclic rings. The sulfur and four oxygens suggest potential polar functionality, but exact properties are contingent on the specific structure and stereochemistry.

Because a single formula can correspond to multiple isomers, identifying a specific compound requires additional data. Structural information such as SMILES or InChI, a CAS registry number, or spectroscopic data (nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, mass spectrometry) is necessary to determine the precise identity.

In literature and databases, C20H22N2O4S may be cited as a formula key accompanying various distinct molecules. Without a defined structure, general conclusions about solubility, reactivity, or applications cannot be reliably drawn. Understanding the compound fully relies on its explicit molecular architecture or registered identifiers. See also: molecular formula, isomer, SMILES, InChI, CAS number.
