C20H26N2O2

C20H26N2O2 is a molecular formula representing organic compounds that contain 20 carbon atoms, 26 hydrogen atoms, 2 nitrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. The formula does not specify how these atoms are connected, so it can correspond to multiple structural isomers with different properties. In practice, many different compounds can share this same formula.

Molar mass is about 326.4 g/mol. The degree of unsaturation (DBE) is 9, calculated by DBE = C − H/2 + N/2 + 1, which for C20H26N2O2 yields 20 − 13 + 1 + 1 = 9. This suggests the presence of rings and/or multiple bonds.

The two nitrogen atoms may be present as amine, amide, or heterocyclic nitrogens, and the two oxygens could be part of carbonyl groups, ethers, or other oxygen-containing functionalities. Depending on the arrangement, the compound family could include aromatic systems, aliphatic amines, or lactams, among others. Because the structural possibilities are broad, only specific structural information can determine properties such as polarity, solubility, reactivity, and pharmacological activity.

In databases and chemical catalogs, C20H26N2O2 serves as a molecular formula entry that can correspond to several distinct substances. When identifying a substance with this formula, exact structural data or a provided name are required. Safety and handling information should be drawn from the specific compound’s material safety data sheet.
