1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane is a monomolecular gas that is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It reacts with halides to form cyclopentyl derivatives. This reaction has been shown to be faster than the corresponding reaction of 1-bromocyclohexane with chlorides or bromides. The rate of this reaction may be due to the polarizability and conformational changes of the molecule upon substitution by a methyl group. 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane is also an ionizing reagent, which means it can cause electrophilic reactions to occur on other molecules. It has been found that the solvent effect on this product can affect its reactivity, with solvents such as water having more of an effect than solvents such as benzene. 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane has been shown to interact with other compounds in both transfer and complex

N-(2-Phenylethyl)benzenesulfonamide is a biodegradable and aerobic catalyst that is used in the production of nitrates. It can be recycled and has a high solubility, which allows for efficient extraction from wastewater effluents. The reactor system can be operated at an aerobic or anaerobic conditions. N-(2-Phenylethyl)benzenesulfonamide is soluble in water and can be hydrolyzed by acids or bases to release ammonia gas. The process can also be sustainable due to the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, tidal, or biomass power.

2-Cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diol is a substrate for porcine pancreatic lipase. It is hydrolyzed by this enzyme, which is stereoselective and enantioselective. 2-Cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diol also has properties that are similar to angiotensin, a peptide that is secreted by the human body. This substance can be used as a solvent for other organic compounds in chemical reactions.

2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene is a chemical compound that has been synthesized in an asymmetric reaction. The reactant is bromopropane and the product is 2,2,2-trifluoropropene. The methylene group on the propene molecule is activated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluoride ion from hydrogen fluoride to form a cavity with a highly strained bond. The kinetic study of this reaction revealed that the activation energy for the reaction is 42 kJ/mol. Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are catalyzed by palladium and require nonpolar solvents such as toluene or dichloromethane. This type of reaction has been shown to be exothermic with an isolated yield of 1%.

Piperyline is an alkanoic acid that has shown to be effective against skin cancer. It also has antimicrobial properties, which may be due to its ability to bind metal ions and form polymeric compounds. Piperyline inhibits microbial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. The antimicrobial activity is related to its cationic polymerization with hydroxyl groups, which forms a structure that can inhibit microbial enzymes and disrupt microbial cell membranes. This compound also interacts with the skin's natural lipids, making it difficult for microorganisms to attach and grow on the skin. Piperyline is synthesized in organic chemistry laboratories as an amide precursor of other pharmaceuticals such as penicillin.
