Molecule Structure Scientific Diagram

This image displays a three-dimensional ball-and-stick model of 2-(diethylamino)ethyl benzoate, an organic compound known for its local anesthetic properties. The molecule features a benzene ring directly linked to a carbonyl carbon, forming a benzoate ester. This ester is connected via an ethyl bridge to a tertiary amine group, where the nitrogen atom is bonded to two ethyl substituents. Carbon atoms are represented by black spheres, oxygen by red, nitrogen by blue, and hydrogen by white, clearly illustrating the molecule's atomic arrangement and bonding.
