<p>3-(p-tolyl)propiolic acid is a functional group that is used in organic chemistry. It is an alkynoic acid with a terminal triple bond. The compound can be synthesized by the reaction of propiolic acid with an alkyne, followed by oxidation. The 3-(p-tolyl)propiolic acid can be used as a surrogate for other functional groups in organic synthesis, and it has been shown to react as an oxidant in biomolecular systems.</p>

<p>N-Carbethoxy-4-hydroxypiperidine is a drug substance that is a h1 receptor antagonist. It is used as an antihistamine to treat the symptoms of hay fever and other allergic reactions. N-Carbethoxy-4-hydroxypiperidine is available in two enantiomers, or mirror images, which are labelled S and R. The R enantiomer is more potent than the S enantiomer for inhibiting histamine h1 receptors. This drug has been shown to inhibit the growth of tuberculosis bacteria in cell culture and animal models, but not against Mycobacterium avium complex. N-Carbethoxy-4-hydroxypiperidine has also been shown to have significant antibacterial activity against Clostridium perfringens with minimal toxicity in mice.</p>

<p>(1R)-2-Chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol is a substrate for acetylation that is used in the synthesis of enantiopure alcohols. It has been shown to be an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenases and hydrophobic alcohols. (1R)-2-Chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol has also been found to be active against fungi such as Penicillium chrysogenum and Cryptococcus neoformans. This compound is stereoselective when used as an antifungal agent, which means it will only inhibit one enantiomer of a molecule.</p>

<p>Bromo-PEG3-azide is a PEG compound with two different functional groups (also known as heterobifunctional). Unlike homobifunctional PEG compounds (same functional group on both ends), this type of compounds are more versatile as have two different anchor points. Bromo-PEG3-azide is used as a linker and spacer to add a PEG moiety, via pegylation (a bioconjugation technique) to proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, small molecules and nanoparticles.</p>

<p>2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-benzaldehyde is a nitrate that has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells by binding to bromodomains in their DNA, thereby preventing transcription and replication. 2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-benzaldehyde also inhibits the production of nitric oxide, which may lead to an inhibitory effect on tumour angiogenesis. The stereoisomers of this compound are used as precursors for the synthesis of ammonium nitrate, which is used as a fertilizer and explosive. 2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-benzaldehyde is also used in organic synthesis as a precursor for acetylation or halide reactions with palladium complexes or halides.</p>

<p>(1R,8S,9s)-Bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9-ylmethanol is a congener that belongs to the class of monoclonal antibodies. It is a degradable and photophysical agent that enhances ionotropic gelation and proton exchange in an acidic environment. This agent has been shown to react with nucleophilic groups, such as amines and thiols, and has fluorescence properties that are sensitive to pH changes. The reactive nature of this compound makes it useful for the localization of model proteins in analytical chemistry experiments.</p>
