2-Bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol (BNP) is a preservative that is used in wastewater treatment. It is an antimicrobial agent that has synergistic effects with other antimicrobial agents such as triclosan, benzalkonium chloride and sesquiterpene lactones. 2-Bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol has been shown to have a phase transition temperature of -28°C, which can be used to identify it in the laboratory. This compound also has a pK value of 4.4, which indicates that it is weakly acidic. 2-Bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol can be used as an analytical method for the determination of p - hydroxybenzoic acid in aqueous samples by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme c-glycosylase. This compound has been used in pharmaceutical preparations and as a feedstock in organic syntheses. It is used to produce the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam, which inhibits the action of cyclooxygenase and blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins. 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one also has been shown to inhibit crystallization of the bovine liver enzyme phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol acyltransferase (PCAT). The inhibition was found to be competitive with respect to PCAT substrate and was not due to inhibition of PCAT by 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(

(1R)-1-(3-Nitrophenyl)ethanol is a prochiral alcohol that is generated by the oxidation of nitrobenzene. It has an optimal pH range of 5.5-7.0 and optimum catalytic activity at a ph range of 6.5-8.0. (1R)-1-(3-Nitrophenyl)ethanol can be used in the production of antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin, which are derived from erythromycin. The chiral nature of this molecule allows for the synthesis of two different stereoisomers: erythromycin A and erythromycin B. This molecule also has been shown to have antifungal properties, inhibiting the growth of bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.

SCH 28080 is a potent inhibitor of transcriptional activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). These two transcriptional regulatory proteins are activated by various stimuli, including inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. Activation of these transcription factors leads to the upregulation of the genes encoding proinflammatory mediators, such as eosinophil cationic protein and interleukins. SCH 28080 has been shown to inhibit NF-κB activation in human HL60 cells, which may be due to its ability to bind to both the α subunit of NF-κB and AP-1.

2-(Piperidin-4-yl)ethan-1-amine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the enzyme pancreatic lipase. This inhibition of lipases leads to the decrease in triglycerides and phospholipids in the blood, which prevents inflammation. 2-(Piperidin-4-yl)ethan-1-amine has been shown to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. It has been used for the treatment of infections caused by Mycobacteria sp., including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium complex, and M. kansasii. It also has been used for the treatment of orlistat induced side effects such as steatorrhea and diarrhea. The use of this drug is limited because it can cause liver toxicity or gastrointestinal ulceration at high doses.

2-Bromo-6-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a synthetic chemical that consists of a furan ring with an acetonitrile group. It has been shown to be a constant in cyclic electroreduction and is used as a biomolecular surfactant. 2-Bromo-6-hydroxybenzaldehyde has also been shown to react intramolecularly with the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring, which results in the formation of a dimer. This chemical can be produced by solvolysis or electroreduction.

1-Bromocyclohexane-1-carbonitrile (1BCC) is an orthogonal alkylation agent that can react with a wide variety of functionalized organic halides. It reacts with the carbon atom in the organic halide, forming a new carbon-carbon bond. This reaction is highly selective and does not require any protecting groups or activation by copper. 1BCC also has high activity with nitroalkanes, which makes it a useful reagent for synthesizing diamines. 1BCC can be used as an efficient synthetic method for aromatic and nonaromatic diamines.
