Chemical Structure

5-(4-t-Butylphenyl)nicotinic acid CAS 893738-16-4 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C16H17NO2, 5-(4-t-Butylphenyl)nicotinic acid contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 255.31 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
