Unlike most psychedelics, efavirenz is not a [[tryptamine]], [[phenethylamine]] or [[lysergamide]]. Efavirenz is classified as a benzoxazine and has several different moieties which give it a unique pharmacological profile. On the two position of the benzoxazine ring, efavirenz has a ketone attached. Efavirenz also has a trifluoromethyl group as well as a cyclopropane ring.

Efavirenz is a white to slightly pink crystalline powder with a molecular mass of 315.68 g/mol. Efavirenz is chemically described as (''S'')-6-chloro-(cyclopropylethynyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-2''H''-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one. Its empirical formula is C<sub>14</sub>H<sub>9</sub>ClF<sub>3</sub>NO<sub>2</sub>. Efavirenz is a white to slightly pink crystalline powder with a molecular mass of 315.68 g/mol. It is practically insoluble in water (<10 µg/mL).
