2-Ethylpyridin-4-amine is a pyridine that can be synthesized from the amination of 4-nitrophenol. It can also be synthesized by acylation of 2-ethylpyridine with ethyl chloroformate followed by cyclization. This compound has shown to have high yields in reactions involving pyridines and it is often used as a precursor for other compounds.

Methyl 2-octynoate is a chemical that has been shown to bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Methyl 2-octynoate has been shown to have antitumor activity in various types of cancer cells, including breast, prostate, and lung cancer cells. This chemical is not known to be chemically stable or film-forming. It also disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and reduces the endpoints of oxidative phosphorylation. Methyl 2-octynoate was found to have low potency against cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

2-Allylcyclohexanone is an unsaturated ketone that is synthesized by the ring-opening of allyl cyclohexane carboxylate with sodium hydroxide. It can be used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds. 2-Allylcyclohexanone can also be used to react with hydroxide solution to produce a salt and an alcohol. The hydroxide solution can act as a base, reducing the carbonyl group in the presence of an acid to form the corresponding alcohol. This reaction is stereoselective because it only occurs when there are two different groups on adjacent carbons.
2-Allylcyclohexanone has been shown to inhibit non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as nevirapine, efavirenz, and delavirdine. In addition, it has been found to have functional groups that are capable of reacting

2-[3-(Propan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetic acid is a chemical compound that is used as an additive in benzene, and is a phytotoxic chemical. It prevents the formation of chlorophyll by blocking electron transport and inhibiting photosynthesis. 2-[3-(Propan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetic acid is used to induce callus tissue from lettuce, radish, and other plants. This compound also inhibits the growth of various bacteria including Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Cyclopropyl(3,4-dimethylphenyl)methanone (CPM) is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been shown to have similar effects to the natural cannabinoids found in cannabis. CPM binds to and activates the CB2 receptor, which is found on cells of the immune system, brain, and other organs. It has been studied for its ability to reduce glioma tumor growth in mice by inhibiting glutamate release. The molecular modeling study showed that CPM binds to the receptor with a geometry similar to other CB2 agonists like JWH-133. In addition, CPM inhibits locomotor activity in rats and has been shown to produce some symptoms of anxiety in mice. A receptor knockout study with mice showed that CPM can bind to CB2 receptors without activating them. X-ray diffraction data indicated that CPM is an achiral molecule with an idealized molecular geometry of "s".

2-Methylsulfonylthiophene is a modulating agent that can inhibit the activity of carbonic anhydrase, adenosine receptors and 5-membered heteroaryl. It has been shown to have affinity for CB1 receptor antagonists and is used to treat cardiovascular diseases. 2-Methylsulfonylthiophene also inhibits the enzymatic activity of anhydrase in the eye, which leads to suppression of intraocular pressure (IOP). The drug also has anti-glaucoma effects by reducing the production of aqueous humour. 2-Methylsulfonylthiophene is used as a dyestuff intermediate and as an organic solvent.

3-Hydroxy-N,N,3-trimethylbutanamide is a liquid at room temperature. It is an additive that can be used in the production of nitrocellulose and as a preservative for nitrate film. 3-Hydroxy-N,N,3-trimethylbutanamide decomposes on exposure to UV light to form nitric oxide. It is also used as a photoinitiator in the synthesis of polymers by free radical polymerization reactions. The liquid composition can be thermally treated to produce stable silver nanoparticles.

2,4-Dimethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid is a dianion that is used as a fungicide. It has been shown to be effective against many plant diseases, including powdery mildews, rusts, and sooty molds. The methyl ester of 2,4-dimethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid can be synthesized in the laboratory from cyclohexanone and methylamine. The reactive methyl group of the dianion catalyzes the reaction with hydroxyl groups on other molecules, forming an amide or alkylating agent. This reaction occurs stereoselectively when one of the hydrogens on the carbon adjacent to the carboxylate group is also replaced by a methyl group.

Piperazine-2-carboxamide is a synthetic drug that is used to treat tuberculosis. It binds to the mycolic acid of the bacterial cell wall, preventing it from forming an outer layer and disrupting its function. Piperazine-2-carboxamide also inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids and amines in bacteria, which are necessary for their survival. This drug can be synthesized by reacting piperazine with formaldehyde and acetamide.
