The molecule consists of a benzene ring bearing a single substituent, with the remaining five positions unsubstituted.

The substituent is a linear side chain of nine heavy atoms. In this chain, counting outward from the point of attachment to the benzene, the fourth atom is nitrogen, and all the others are carbons.

All bonds in the chain are single except for the bond between the fourth (nitrogen) and fifth atom, and the bond between the last two carbons, which are double bonds.

The fifth atom carries a hydroxyl group (-OH), and the sixth atom carries an amino group (-NH2).
