1,4-Diiodo-2,5-dimethylbenzene is an iodide that can be used in the industrialization of iodine. It can be prepared from bicyclopropylidene and nitrosobenzene by coupling with a carbonyl group. The yield of this reaction is high and the product is stable. 1,4-Diiodo-2,5-dimethylbenzene can also be prepared by palladium-catalyzed cross coupling or a Diels–Alder reaction between 2,5-dimethylaniline and 3-(bromomethyl)cyclobutane. This process yields only one regioisomer because there are no other reactive groups on the ring to form a second regioisomeric product.

4-Chloro-2,5-dimethylphenol is a phenolic compound that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It has low ph and can form adducts with methanol at high ph. 4-Chloro-2,5-dimethylphenol can be reacted with hydrogen chloride to produce the corresponding chloride or with a coupling agent to produce the corresponding imine. 4-Chloro-2,5-dimethylphenol can also be used as an elimination agent.

2-(3-Methoxy-phenoxy)-propionic acid is a chiral compound that is used in organic synthesis. The racemic form of this molecule can be crystallized with the help of other molecules such as cocrystallization, heterodimers, underscores and enantiomers. It crystallizes in two different forms: the α-form and the β-form. The α-form has a melting point of 120 °C, whereas the β-form melts at 138 °C. The polymorphic nature of 2-(3-methoxy-phenoxy)-propionic acid is due to its structural differences in the crystal lattice. These differences are made possible by supramolecular interactions between neighboring molecules.

3,3-Dimethylglutarimide is a molecule that has been shown to inhibit the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase in a stepwise manner. This inhibition prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, which leads to increased levels of this neurotransmitter and an improvement in cognition. 3,3-Dimethylglutarimide also has protonation properties that allow it to form complexes with metal ions such as zinc and copper. These complexes are formed by the interaction of functional groups on the molecules with protons on the metal ions.

1-Methylcyclohexane-1-carboxamide is a sclerotiorin, which are natural substances that have been shown to have inhibitory effects against fungi. It has been shown to be effective against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Gaseous Botrytis cinerea. The inhibition of sclerotiorin 1-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxamide is due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of ergosterol, which is an important component of the fungal cell membrane. This drug has also been shown to have inhibitory effects on carbon bond formation in natural substances such as ginseng root or solid form.

3,5-Dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one is a β-unsaturated ketone that has been synthesized using an efficient method. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and is used for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in humans. The compound also binds to polyene compounds and supramolecular substrates. 3,5-Dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one reacts with chloride ions to form a β unsaturated ketone chloride that can undergo alkylation with an electron donor such as acetonitrile. This reaction is catalyzed by microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes and requires a reaction time of about two hours to complete.
