C14H20N2O3 is a molecular formula (it tells you the number of each type of atom, but not the exact compound name). With only this formula, multiple different organic compounds can match, depending on how those atoms are connected.
Which compound is C14H20N2O3?
The same formula can correspond to several structural isomers. To identify the exact substance, you’d need at least one more piece of information such as:
- the compound name or an alternative identifier (CAS number),
- a structure (SMILES/InChI or a drawing),
- spectroscopic data (e.g., NMR, IR, MS),
- or the source context (drug, reagent, natural product).
What are the molecular properties implied by the formula?
From C14H20N2O3, you can infer:
- It contains two nitrogen atoms and three oxygens, suggesting functional groups like amides, ureas, carbamates, nitriles, nitro groups, or alcohol/ester/carboxyl-related motifs (the exact group types cannot be fixed without structure).
- The overall formula is consistent with many mid-sized organic molecules (often in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or research intermediates).
How to identify it quickly
If you share any of the following, I can help narrow it down to a specific compound:
- CAS number
- SMILES or InChI
- a mass spec result (molecular ion peak, m/z)
- IR peak highlights (key functional group bands)
- NMR summary (e.g., number of signals, key chemical shifts)
One quick clarification
“C14H20N2O3” is not a unique name by itself. If you meant a specific compound from a dataset or assignment, paste the additional context and I’ll match it to the correct organic compound.
If you tell me where you got the formula (e.g., a homework problem, a lab label, a database entry, or a mass spec readout), I can help identify the intended compound.
