5-Iodo-2-methoxypyrimidine is an enantioenriched, modular, polyfunctionalized, derivatized molecule that has been shown to be both antiproliferative and selective. It is synthesized in a two step reaction from acetate and 2-iodo-5-methoxypyridine via the use of a coupling agent, such as HATU. The synthesis proceeds with an arylation followed by a decarboxylative coupling reaction. This synthetic method produces 5-iodo-2-methoxypyrimidine in high yields with excellent enantioselectivity.

2,3-Dihydro-5(1H)-indolizinone (NU-120) is a quinoid compound that has been shown to have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The prodrug form of NU-120 is converted to the active n-oxide form in vivo by the enzyme cytochrome P450. This conversion takes place at an efficient rate with oral absorption between 0.2% and 2%. The drug has a crystalline structure and solvates readily in water.

2-[Benzyl(methyl)ao]propanoic acid is a glycine analogue that has been synthesized and characterized. It is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula C5H11NO2. The molecule has a chiral carbon atom at the center of the propanoic acid group and contains two asymmetric carbon atoms on the benzene ring, which enable it to exist in two stereoisomers. The compound has been shown to exhibit interligand interactions with copper as well as stereoselectivity in its interactions with l-amino acids. 2-[Benzyl(methyl)ao]propanoic acid also exhibits dichroism spectra, which are unique to these types of molecules.

1-Bromocyclohexane-1-carbonitrile (1BCC) is an orthogonal alkylation agent that can react with a wide variety of functionalized organic halides. It reacts with the carbon atom in the organic halide, forming a new carbon-carbon bond. This reaction is highly selective and does not require any protecting groups or activation by copper. 1BCC also has high activity with nitroalkanes, which makes it a useful reagent for synthesizing diamines. 1BCC can be used as an efficient synthetic method for aromatic and nonaromatic diamines.
