Chemical Property Profile of Butyl ether
Property Insights of Butyl ether
The XLogP value of 3.2 indicates that Butyl ether is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 9.2 Ų, Butyl ether exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Butyl ether has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 1 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
