2-Phenoxyphenylacetonitrile is a pyrethroid n-oxide that is chemically related to other insecticides that are used in agriculture and against insects such as mosquitoes. 2-Phenoxyphenylacetonitrile is a synthetic compound that has been shown to have an optimum pH of 5.5, which makes it difficult to dissolve in water. The compound's high stability at low pH levels means that it can be used in acidic environments. It also has been shown to have strong activity against human serum and food composition, with no detectable activity against bacteria or fungi.

4-Fluoro-3-nitrophenylacetonitrile is a monomer that can be synthesised from the reaction of carbamic acid and diphenyl ether. It is chiral, stereoselective and nucleophilic. 4-Fluoro-3-nitrophenylacetonitrile can also be synthesised by reacting fluoroacetamide with sodium cyanide in water, forming the corresponding amide, which reacts with acetonitrile to form the nitro compound. The anti-cancer properties of 4-fluoro-3 nitrophenylacetonitrile have been studied in vitro and in vivo. This substance has been shown to inhibit growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis. In addition, this substance has been used as a synthetic strategy for dihydroisoquinolines, which are important for their anti-cancer properties.

N-Allyl-n-(2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)acetamide is a fine chemical that is used as a building block in the synthesis of other compounds. It is also used in research and as a reagent or speciality chemical. N-Allyl-n-(2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)acetamide has been shown to be an excellent intermediate for complex organic reactions, such as coupling reactions with amines, alcohols, and thiols. In addition, this compound can be used to form new scaffolds for biological studies.
