Aliphatic compounds and derivatives

Phentolamine is a synthetic mesylate that is used as an antihypertensive agent, and for the treatment of Raynaud's syndrome and pheochromocytoma. Phentolamine is also used to prevent frostbite and to treat various types of shock. Phentolamine blocks alpha-2-adrenergic receptors, thereby decreasing sympathetic nerve impulses to the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other organs. This drug also acts as a histamine antagonist by blocking H1-receptors on vascular smooth muscle cells. Phentolamine has been shown to have no significant effects on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) release in vitro or in vivo.

1H,1H,7H-Dodecafluoroheptanol is a perfluorinated compound. It has been shown to be an efficient scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to have a protective effect on collagen. The reaction mechanism of 1H,1H,7H-dodecafluoroheptanol is not fully understood. However, it has been shown that the chloride ion plays a key role in the formation of this product from 1H,1H,7F-dodecafluoroheptane. The reaction vessel used in this synthesis is critical because it must be anhydrous to prevent the formation of 1HF3OCl. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to study the chemical structures of this compound.

aliphatic diol.  It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth

Used in the preparation of metal-diene reagents (e.g. for carbocyclization)

1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane is a reactive chemical that is synthesized from hydroxychloroformates and hydrogen chloride. It reacts with silicon to form chlorosilanes, which are then used in the polymerization of siloxanes. 1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane has been shown to be an effective initiator for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. 1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane is also used as a hydroxyl group donor in organic reactions.
