1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene is a halide that has the chemical formula CHClFO. It is a synthetic precursor for epoxides and other organic compounds. 1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene can be synthesized from ferrocene and trifluoroacetic acid by the addition of chloride. The compound was first prepared by Edward D. Leete in 1891, who proposed its name "1,4-dimethoxybenzene". It has been studied extensively as a model compound for organic synthesis due to its ability to undergo electrophilic substitution reactions with electron-deficient alkenes to form epoxides stereoselectively. X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for both the free base and the salt form of this compound. IR spectra show bands at 3367 cm−1 (ν(C=O) stretching), 1658 cm−1 (ν(C=O) symmetric stretch),

4-Amino-2,3-dimethyl-benzoic acid is a benzene derivative that has been detected in wastewater treatment plants at median concentrations of 3.2 μg/L. It is used as a sunscreen agent and can be found in sunscreens, cosmetics, and soaps. 4-Amino-2,3-dimethyl-benzoic acid has been shown to induce cancer in the skin of mice. This drug may also have effects on the production of reactive oxygen species that cause DNA mutations. 4DMBBA binds to proteins and nucleic acids by hydrogen bonding interactions with amino groups. The binding of 4DMBBA to DNA prevents the transcription of genes encoding proteins involved in DNA repair, leading to cell death and cancer.

3-Phenylumbelliferone is a coumarin derivative that is used as an antidiabetic drug. It is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme phosphatase, which inactivates tyrosine kinase, and inhibits the formation of DOPA from L-tyrosine, resulting in inhibition of glucose uptake by cells. 3-Phenylumbelliferone also fluoresces at wavelengths of 340 nm when excited with ultraviolet light. This property has been shown to be helpful in the detection of phenylurea herbicides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and other compounds.
