1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-2-thiourea is an organic compound. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and methanol. This molecule has a centrosymmetric structure, so it has no plane of symmetry. It has two hydrogen bonds, one intramolecular and one intermolecular. 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-2-thiourea can be extracted with organic solvents such as dichloromethane or chloroform. The molecules of this substance have hydrogen bonding interactions with other molecules, including benzene, dihedral angles of 60°, and orthorhombic crystals with space group Pbca.

(1R)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethan-1-ol (1R,2S)-(+)-N-methylbenzeneethanamine is a stereoselective and selective reagent for the conversion of l-phenylalanine to (2S,3S)-(+)-N-methylbenzeneethanamine. It is commonly used in the synthesis of the enantiopure amino acid l-amino acid derivatives. This compound has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of bacterial growth at high concentrations. The reaction rate increases with increasing temperature and substrate concentration. The cell membrane permeability is higher than that of styrene, which makes this compound useful for the preparation of immobilized enzymes for carbonyl reduction reactions.

3-(Diethylcarbamoyl)propanoic acid is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed in vivo to the active form, 3-diethylamino-2-propanol. This compound has analgesic and antiinflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. 3-(Diethylcarbamoyl)propanoic acid has been shown to be effective against ureaplasmas, mycoplasmas, chlamydia and some viruses. It also inhibits the replication of prions and parasites such as worms and flukes.
