5-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride is a conformationally locked macrocyclic compound that has been synthesized by solid phase synthesis. It is found in two conformational states and can be made to switch between these two states by applying a force to the molecule. This conformation can be controlled by changing the side chain of 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride, which can be done experimentally. The conformational behavior of this macrocycle was studied using molecular dynamics simulations and it was found that there are four possible conformations for the molecule. The conformations with different side chains were found to have different energies, which could be used as a measure of their relative stability.

2-Chloro-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one is a sulfoxide with significant antifungal activity. It has been shown to be effective against Candida albicans and other fungi, including Aspergillus niger and Mucor racemosus. It is commonly used as an electrolyte in electroluminescent devices, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). The reaction time for the formation of 2-chloro-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one from potassium sulfate is dependent on the acid catalyst used. Organic chemists have shown that the use of 2-chloro-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one can inhibit leukotriene synthesis.

1-Propylpyrazole is a non-classical inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase that has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on pentane. 1-Propylpyrazole has peroxidase-like activity, which means it can bind to lipid hydroperoxides in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or peroxidase. It has also been shown to be an effective inhibitor of dehydrogenase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes and ketones to carboxylic acids. This drug is not active against classical aldehyde oxidases such as alcohol dehydrogenase, but it does inhibit polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis by binding with cytochrome P450 enzymes.

2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene is a chemical compound that has been synthesized in an asymmetric reaction. The reactant is bromopropane and the product is 2,2,2-trifluoropropene. The methylene group on the propene molecule is activated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluoride ion from hydrogen fluoride to form a cavity with a highly strained bond. The kinetic study of this reaction revealed that the activation energy for the reaction is 42 kJ/mol. Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are catalyzed by palladium and require nonpolar solvents such as toluene or dichloromethane. This type of reaction has been shown to be exothermic with an isolated yield of 1%.

Piperyline is an alkanoic acid that has shown to be effective against skin cancer. It also has antimicrobial properties, which may be due to its ability to bind metal ions and form polymeric compounds. Piperyline inhibits microbial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. The antimicrobial activity is related to its cationic polymerization with hydroxyl groups, which forms a structure that can inhibit microbial enzymes and disrupt microbial cell membranes. This compound also interacts with the skin's natural lipids, making it difficult for microorganisms to attach and grow on the skin. Piperyline is synthesized in organic chemistry laboratories as an amide precursor of other pharmaceuticals such as penicillin.
