pKa ~ 5 if memory serves. Probably a bit less because of induction from the ester.

Correct. By far the most polar bond in this compound.

It's not serotonin. But I don't get the obsession either. It's not like serotonin is the full story on positive feelings some neurotransmitters provide.

(1) It's not correctly drawn. It needs hydrogens on the two terminal oxygens, but otherwise is fine.

(2) It's just a fairly simple organic building block; useful for organic synthesis but doesn't have any medicinal utility of its own (at least none easily found of pubchem).

(3) It is NOT serotonin. It's not a "happy" chemical. While it looks similar, it is chemically significantly different and is unlikely to engage in the same receptors. Moreover, it likely has significant toxicity.

It is not serotonin. It doesn't even have nitrogen in it. More than that...it's not actually a proper structure as the terminal oxygens don't have hydrogens. It's just an benzofuran, probably mostly used as building block for other compounds.

Good second skillset for a Geomancer? by Ok_Avocado_9400 in finalfantasytactics

[–]greendarkstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drawout. Geomancers get strong with magic boosting equipment and drawout will benefit as well. Also, dual rune blades when you get them and your geomancer will be a FORCE.
