8-Iodooct-1-ene is a potential precursor in the synthesis of octadiene. It can be synthesized by dehydrating ethylene with magnesium. 8-Iodooct-1-ene is a coproduct of the Grignard reaction, which is used to synthesize an alkene from a vinyl group and a reactive organic halide. The preparation of 8-iodooct-1-ene has been described in detail using techniques such as focusing on chirality and using coproducts to avoid unwanted reactions.

4-Formyl-3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (4FHN) is an antibacterial agent. It is bacteriostatic and has been shown to be effective against gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but not against gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. 4FHN was found to inhibit the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by binding to the ribosomal RNA in the bacterial cell wall, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. 4FHN also shows antimicrobial activity due to its ability to form stable hydrazones with nucleophilic centers in the bacterial cell wall. These compounds react with cellular macromolecules, leading to cell death.
