2,6-Dichloro-4-phenylpyridine is a chemosensor that can be used to detect the presence of aromatic compounds. It has a modular structure consisting of an emission domain and a substrate binding domain. The fluorophore is reversibly bound to the substrate binding domain, which means that it can be detached from the substrate when the desired molecule is detected. This sensor has been shown to have high selectivity for aromatic molecules in both water and organic solvents. 2,6-Dichloro-4-phenylpyridine has also been studied structurally and found to react with a number of other chemical entities such as thiocyanate ion, nitrobenzene, and nitrophenol.

Tromantadine is an active analogue of quinolones and is used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria. Tromantadine has been shown to be effective against a number of bacterial strains, including some strains that are resistant to other antibiotics. Tromantadine inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and preventing transcription and replication. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. Tromantadine is chemically stable at high temperatures, making it suitable for use in hot climates.

(2-Ethylphenyl)methanamine is an analog of fluconazole, a drug used to treat fungal infections. It has been shown to have potentiation properties that are similar to those of fluconazole. The mechanism of action involves inhibiting the efflux pump in the cell membrane. This leads to increased intracellular concentrations and enhanced activity of fluconazole against Candida albicans.

N-Cyclopentylacetamide is a reactive alkylating agent that is used in the synthesis of organic chemicals. It reacts with chlorine to form chloroform, and with acetonitrile to form acetanilide. N-Cyclopentylacetamide also reacts electrochemically with fission products such as uranium to form uranium hexafluoride. The reaction of N-Cyclopentylacetamide with bromides yields a spectrum of cyclopentyl bromides. This compound can be used for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other chemical compounds.

4-Iodo-2-methylbut-1-ene is an alkylating agent that forms a covalent bond with DNA. It can be synthesized by the reaction of an electrophile, such as methyl iodide, with an enone. This process is stereoselective and stereoselectively mediated. The compound is used in the synthesis of pheromones and has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on tumor cells. 4-Iodo-2-methylbut-1-ene can be synthesized by the catalysis of trifluoromethanesulphonate. When this reagent reacts with an organic molecule containing a reactive group, it forms a covalent bond with DNA and inhibits protein synthesis.
