<p>1,4-Dimethyl 2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanedioate is an allylating agent that modifies the amino acid lysine residues in proteins. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of skin lesions caused by Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria because it inhibits bacterial growth through an antimicrobial effect. 1,4-Dimethyl 2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanedioate also has been used as a precursor for the synthesis of vitamin D3. This compound is metabolized in mammalian cells to form cysteamine, which is further converted to S-(1,4-dimethylpentadienoyl)cysteamine (DMPE). The resulting product can be used as a functional group on collagen or malic acid. 1,4-Dimethyl 2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanedioate also is used for modifications of mucocutaneous tissues such as skin and oral muc</p>

<p>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%.</p>
