Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic
« on: October 05, 2019, 03:58:42 AM »
Hi, I stumbled upon a molecule that I’m interested to synthesize for my research but I’m wondering whether this molecule has a hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristic?

COC(=O)C1CCC=CC1C
Which part of your molecule is hydrophobic, which one hydrophilic, which property prevails?

It sometimes helps to think about which intermolecular forces are present or absent.

I think it will be a relative matter, you need to compare it with other compounds. What is your guess, will it be more soluble in ether or water?
