1-Chloro-4-isocyanobenzene (1CI) is an organic compound that has been used as a chemical probe for the detection of amines and other molecules on metal surfaces. The frequency shift in Raman spectra, which is observed after the addition of 1CI to the metal surface, is used to detect amines. 1CI has also been shown to be a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial function. This molecule binds to nucleophilic sites on metal surfaces and forms covalent bonds with them, leading to a high degree of inhibition.
1CI can be synthesized in three steps from commercially available starting materials and is relatively easy to purify.

2-[3-(Propan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetic acid is a chemical compound that is used as an additive in benzene, and is a phytotoxic chemical. It prevents the formation of chlorophyll by blocking electron transport and inhibiting photosynthesis. 2-[3-(Propan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetic acid is used to induce callus tissue from lettuce, radish, and other plants. This compound also inhibits the growth of various bacteria including Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

(3,3,3-Trifluoroprop-1-yn-1-yl)benzene is a reaction product that can be used to inhibit the activity of metalloprotease and as an anti-cancer agent. This compound inhibits the enzyme that causes chronic kidney disease and degenerative diseases. It is a potent inhibitor of metalloprotease, which is involved in cancer progression, fatty acid synthesis and bone formation. The effective dose for this drug is between 1 and 10mg/kg body weight. It has been shown to have an asymmetric synthesis with the use of amido groups. (3,3,3-Trifluoroprop-1-yn-1-yl)benzene also has antirheumatic properties due to its ability to inhibit proteases such as matrix metalloproteinases and cathepsins.

Methyl 2-octynoate is a chemical that has been shown to bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Methyl 2-octynoate has been shown to have antitumor activity in various types of cancer cells, including breast, prostate, and lung cancer cells. This chemical is not known to be chemically stable or film-forming. It also disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and reduces the endpoints of oxidative phosphorylation. Methyl 2-octynoate was found to have low potency against cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

2-Allylcyclohexanone is an unsaturated ketone that is synthesized by the ring-opening of allyl cyclohexane carboxylate with sodium hydroxide. It can be used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds. 2-Allylcyclohexanone can also be used to react with hydroxide solution to produce a salt and an alcohol. The hydroxide solution can act as a base, reducing the carbonyl group in the presence of an acid to form the corresponding alcohol. This reaction is stereoselective because it only occurs when there are two different groups on adjacent carbons.
2-Allylcyclohexanone has been shown to inhibit non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as nevirapine, efavirenz, and delavirdine. In addition, it has been found to have functional groups that are capable of reacting
