A good example of the precision with which your measurements need to be made to identify a compound in this manner! Predicted molecular weight 220, mp 120, and solubility 1.3 mg/mL, and the literature values of MW 180, mp 135, and solubility 3 mg/mL. I certainly wouldn't have guessed this compound from that data.
