4-Chloro-1,6-naphthyridine is a chlorinated derivative of 1,6-naphthyridine. It is synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation. Catalytic hydrogenation of 4-chloro-1,6-naphthyridine yields two isomeric products: 4-chloronicotinamide and 4-chlorobenzamide. The industrial process for the synthesis of 4-chloro-1,6-naphthyridine involves condensation with ethyl acetate to form the N-(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane sulfonate salt followed by reaction with potassium chloride in alcoholic solution.

2-Propylcyclohexan-1-amine is a hydrogenation reaction intermediate that is produced by the thermodynamic equilibrium of cyclohexanone. It is a colorless liquid that has an amine odor. 2-Propylcyclohexan-1-amine can be used as a solvent and as a reactant in industrial processes. The phosphide ion, P, in this compound can be oxidized to form phosphoric acid with heat or light. This reaction has an activation energy (Ea) of 78 kJ/mol and produces hydrogen gas and the corresponding acid from 2-propyclohexanone. The bond cleavage reaction between phosphine and cyclohexane has an Ea of 54 kJ/mol and produces hydrogen gas, phosphate ions, and the corresponding alcohol.

2,3-Dihydro-1,4-benzoxathiine is a chemical compound that blocks the action of ethylene. It is an antimycotic and has been used to treat fungal infections. The structure of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxathiine is similar to that of the estrogen molecule and it binds to the estrogen receptor with high affinity. This drug also acts as a selective serotonin receptor ligand and binds selectively to serotonin receptors. In addition, this drug has been shown to act on the nucleus by inhibiting melatonin synthesis in rats.

2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzenecarbonitrile (2HMB) is a reagent that is used in the synthesis of benzofurans. It is an analog of 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl carbonate. The reaction mechanism involves the conversion of 2HMB to 2-chloro-3-methoxybenzenecarbonitrile, followed by the elimination of chloride to yield 3-hydroxybenzofuran. This reagent also has the ability to catalyze reactions such as demethylation and alkylations.
