<p>1-(4-Methylphenyl)-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)urea is a fluorescent derivative that can be detected with certain techniques. It has been used to detect phosphatases in cervical cancer cells and tumor cells. This compound is a ligand for the surface antigen of placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP). It can also bind to other organic ligands, such as recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO), which may be useful for redirecting the action of this protein. 1-(4-Methylphenyl)-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)urea is an organic bispecific molecule that binds to two receptors, one on tumor cells and one on normal cells. This binding leads to cell death by apoptosis through the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria.</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>
