<p>2-Bromo-5-chlorophenylacetonitrile is an organic compound that is used as a reagent and building block in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is a colourless liquid that can be used to synthesize complex compounds. 2-Bromo-5-chlorophenylacetonitrile has been shown to be useful in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and herbicides. This chemical can be used as a versatile intermediate or building block for the production of high quality research chemicals and specialty chemicals. 2-Bromo-5-chlorophenylacetonitrile is not on the list of chemical substances classified as hazardous according to EU regulation (EINECS) No. 231-1003.</p>

<p>4-Amino-2-chlorobenzonitrile (4ACB) is a copper salt that can be used in antimalarial therapy. It has been shown to have strong antiplasmodial activity against the parasite Plasmodium falciparum and other species of the genus Plasmodium. 4ACB is synthesized by nitro group reduction and ammonolysis, followed by an addition reaction with chloroformate. 4ACB binds to the enzyme ferredoxin reductase and inhibits electron transfer, which leads to inhibition of ATP production and cell death. The molecular modelling study showed that 4ACB is a reactive molecule with high affinity constants for copper ion.</p>

<p>4-Cyanobenzylamine HCl is a degradable polymer that has been shown to inhibit colonic adenocarcinoma in mice. This compound was synthesized by the reaction of 4-cyanobenzylamine with 3-mercaptopropionic acid and was characterized using IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. It also showed an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human colon cancer cells. The polymer was found to gel when mixed with different concentrations of acrylamide and methylene bisacrylamide. Gelation occurred at a lower concentration of acrylamide than the amount used in previous studies. This may be due to its functional groups and morphology, which could have contributed to the inhibition of cell growth.</p>
