Phenyloxolan-2-one is a metabolite of glutethimide. It has been shown to produce dose-dependent sedation and hypnosis in rats. It is also a potent inhibitor of the enzyme gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase, which is responsible for the conversion of GABA to succinic semialdehyde, and may inhibit the formation of gamma-aminobutyric acid from glutamate. Phenyloxolan-2-one can be detected in urine as a metabolite of glutethimide and has been used as an analytical tool for monitoring glutethimide use.

2-Propylcyclohexan-1-amine is a hydrogenation reaction intermediate that is produced by the thermodynamic equilibrium of cyclohexanone. It is a colorless liquid that has an amine odor. 2-Propylcyclohexan-1-amine can be used as a solvent and as a reactant in industrial processes. The phosphide ion, P, in this compound can be oxidized to form phosphoric acid with heat or light. This reaction has an activation energy (Ea) of 78 kJ/mol and produces hydrogen gas and the corresponding acid from 2-propyclohexanone. The bond cleavage reaction between phosphine and cyclohexane has an Ea of 54 kJ/mol and produces hydrogen gas, phosphate ions, and the corresponding alcohol.

4-Chloro-1,6-naphthyridine is a chlorinated derivative of 1,6-naphthyridine. It is synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation. Catalytic hydrogenation of 4-chloro-1,6-naphthyridine yields two isomeric products: 4-chloronicotinamide and 4-chlorobenzamide. The industrial process for the synthesis of 4-chloro-1,6-naphthyridine involves condensation with ethyl acetate to form the N-(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane sulfonate salt followed by reaction with potassium chloride in alcoholic solution.

3-Chloropyrazine 1-oxide is a colorless solid that is soluble in chloroform, acetonitrile, and ethyl acetate. It has a molecular weight of 171.44 and a melting point of -8°C. 3-Chloropyrazine 1-oxide is used as an intermediate in the preparation of quinoxalines using the cross-coupling reaction with palladium complexes. This product can be used to synthesize unsymmetrical compounds that contain nitrogen atoms by reacting with pyridine ring, which will result in a frequency shift. The chloride ion in this compound is minuscule and does not participate in any reactions. 3-Chloropyrazine 1-oxide reacts with phosphine to form chlorobenzene, which is then oxidized to form n-oxide.
