2-Methoxyethyl acetoacetate is used as a raw material for coatings. It has been shown to be an effective calcium antagonist in the treatment of leukemia and other cancers. 2-Methoxyethyl acetoacetate has also been shown to inhibit the growth of HL-60 cells when it is incubated with these cells in the presence of hydrochloric acid, malonic acid, and quinoline derivatives. The reaction produces chlorine gas, which is toxic to cells.

3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxy-benzoic acid is an industrial chemical that is used as a binding agent in the production of dyes, rubber, and pharmaceuticals. The compound is produced by the acylation of 3-chloromethoxybenzoic acid with cyclopropylmethanol. This reaction requires an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate to activate the chloride. 3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzoic acid can be used as a reactive alkylating agent for the production of amides and other organic compounds, which increases its versatility.

3-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is a dipolar molecule with a fluorine atom. It has been synthesized experimentally and the yields are determined by the experimental conditions. 3-Fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid has two isomers, which can be differentiated by their resonances. The molecule also has an asymmetric C3(CF)2Cl group in the middle of its structure that can rotate freely.

3-(2-Fluoroethoxy)Propanenitrile is a chemical with toxic properties. It is classified as a fluoroacetic acid and has been used in the production of other chemicals. Fluoroacetic acid is toxic to humans, showing signs of skin irritation, respiratory tract irritation, and kidney damage. 3-(2-Fluoroethoxy)Propanenitrile is not found naturally and has been sponsored by many companies.
