C20H24N2O3

C20H24N2O3 is a molecular formula representing organic compounds that contain 20 carbon atoms, 24 hydrogen atoms, 2 nitrogen atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms. The formula corresponds to a molecular weight of about 340.42 g/mol. Because a formula alone does not specify a unique structure, C20H24N2O3 can describe multiple distinct isomers with differing arrangements of atoms and functional groups.

The formula implies a relatively high degree of unsaturation, calculated as ten, indicating combinations of rings and double bonds. Depending on how the atoms are connected, the compound could feature heteroaromatic rings, amide or carbamate-type linkages, carbonyl groups, and other common motifs found in organic chemistry. Without a defined structure, its physical properties—such as melting point, boiling point, solubility, and optical activity—are not determined.

Identification and characterization: In chemical databases, C20H24N2O3 may correspond to several different substances. A unique substance is defined by its structural representation (for example SMILES or InChI) or by a CAS registry number. Determining the exact structure typically requires spectroscopic data from methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and mass spectrometry (MS), alongside elemental analysis.

Applications and safety: Compounds with this formula can appear as synthetic intermediates or as fragments of more complex drug-like molecules. The specific uses depend on the actual structure. Safety and handling requirements are determined by the particular compound, and standard laboratory precautions should be followed, including consulting the appropriate safety data sheets.
