4-Acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde is an antimicrobial agent that is used specifically for the treatment of lemongrass oil and eugenol. It has been shown to be effective against a wide range of microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. 4-Acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. The molecule also has hydroxyl group which can react with potassium dichromate and sodium carbonate. This reaction results in the formation of 4-acetoxy-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde through an S N 2 substitution mechanism.

1-(3-Benzyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-nitroethene (1BMN) is an ethanamine that has a skeleton of five benzene and one methoxybenzene rings. It is an analogue of lamellarin, which has been shown to have efficient synthetic and biological properties. 1BMN is biologically active as a lamellarin analog and may be useful for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, malaria, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and ulcerative colitis. 1BMN is synthesized from 2-nitroethanol by reacting with 3-bromobenzaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide. This reaction results in the formation of 1BMN in high yield with few side reactions.

4-Chloro-2-methoxyaniline is an organic compound with the chemical formula CHClNO. It is a colorless liquid that smells like benzene. 4-Chloro-2-methoxyaniline reacts with diazonium salt to produce a red-orange dye and is used to create other azo compounds. It also reacts with anionic substances and can be used in fibre production. 4-Chloro-2-methoxyaniline has been shown to have fungicidal properties, which may be due to its ability to oxidize the fungal cell membrane.

2,4-Dimethoxybenzonitrile is a chiral, heterocycle that is used in the synthesis of anilines. The structure of 2,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile consists of two ring structures with a methyl group on one end and a formyl group on the other. The molecular modeling technique has been used to study this molecule. In dimethylformamide (DMF), 2,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile undergoes deprotection with bond cleavage to give the natural product 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde. This compound has been shown to inhibit the transferase activity in cells and found to be more potent than other formylated compounds.

Methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate is a fatty acid that belongs to the group of p2. It is used as an animal health product and as a component of pharmaceutical preparations. Methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate has been shown to be a useful model system for studying hydrogen bonding in organic chemistry. When heated with sodium carbonate and chloride in water, the methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate reacts with n-dimethyl formamide to produce reaction products. This reaction can be accelerated by adding triticum aestivum and sodium hydroxide solution.
