5-Nitro-2-(piperidine-1-yl)pyridine is a product that is formed by the nucleophilic addition of nitric acid to 1,3-diketones. It has been used in the synthesis of phenyl and isoxazole derivatives. The reaction was rationalized using amines as nucleophiles, which attack the electrophilic carbon atom in the ketone. This product has also been shown to be an effective nucleophile for attacking other molecules, such as azides and nitrates. In the Australian outback, 5-Nitro-2-(piperidine-1-yl)pyridine can be found in soils and plants.

1-Bromopentan-2-ol is an additive that is used in lubricating preparations, as well as a solvent in spectroscopy. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against fungi and bacteria. 1-Bromopentan-2-ol's antimicrobial effects are due to its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to amine groups on proteins and preventing the formation of new cell walls. 1-Bromopentan-2-ol also has the ability to react with formaldehyde, generating formaldehyde gas which inhibits microbial growth.

5-Bromo-furan-2-carbonyl chloride is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. It has a thionyl, polymerized odor and can be used as a feedstock for the production of amines, cyclopentadienyl, and chloride. 5-Bromo-furan-2-carbonyl chloride also has radiation damage properties and can be used in radiochemical synthesis of pyrrole. This chemical has been used to produce glycosides by reacting with diluents such as methanol and ethanol.

5-Chloro-1-tetralone is an oxime that is used as a topical agent for the treatment of staphylococcal infections. It acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, preventing the formation of cross-links between the peptidoglycan chains. 5-Chloro-1-tetralone has potent antibacterial activity against many bacteria and fungi. This compound has shown to be effective against escherichia coli, pneumoniae, and imidazole derivatives. The mechanism of action is not well understood, but it may involve inhibition of protein synthesis or DNA replication by binding to enzymes involved in these processes.

1-(4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)propan-1-one is a planar molecule with a molecular formula of C9H11NO. It has been synthesized in Australia from pyrazine and ammonium acetate. The molecule has the potential for rearrangement to form an ionic intermediate, which is similar in structure to the starting material. The mechanism of this reaction involves a transfer of hydrogen atoms from the hydroxyl group on the pyrazine to the amine group on the 1-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)propan-1-one. This process also results in quaternary carbon atoms that are coplanar with one another.
