2-Chloro-2-phenylethylbenzene is an organic compound that is used in the synthesis of other compounds. It is produced by reacting a chlorinated benzene with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or lithium hydroxide. The reaction produces a mixture of 2-chloro-2-phenylethylbenzene and phenylhydroxyethane. This compound can be converted to 2-chloro-2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethanol by refluxing it with morpholine in methanol and then adding amides such as piperidine or pyrrolidine. The resulting product can be alkylated with carbon tetrachloride to produce 2-chloro-2-(4'-methylphenoxy)ethanol. This compound can also be reduced to give 2-(4'-methylphenoxy)ethanol by heating it with sodium bor

2-Iso-butylcyclopentanone is a ketone that has triplet and singlet states with rate constants of 8.9x10 M/s and 0.003 M/s, respectively. It has been shown to undergo photoelimination reactions in the presence of acyclic or cyclic triplet sensitizers. 2-Iso-butylcyclopentanone also undergoes a rate-limiting step in the formation of an excited state, which is called the S1 state or triplet. This reaction can be followed by measuring the fluorescence spectrum of the compound using a spectrofluorimeter, which shows that it emits light at wavelengths of 333 nm and 395 nm.

1,3-Dimethyl-4-piperidone is a colorless liquid at room temperature that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is a protonated nucleophile that reacts with electrophiles to form alkylations. 1,3-Dimethyl-4-piperidone also reacts with chloride to form an imine, which can be hydrolyzed to yield piperidine. A Grignard reagent can be formed from 1,3-dimethyl-4-piperidone and potassium phosphate. The nature of the product obtained depends on the order of addition of reactants. 1,3-Dimethyl-4-piperidone has been shown to have a number of isomers.

Methyl 2-acetyl-3-oxobutanoate (M2OB) is an acceptor molecule in the Michael reaction. The temperature of the reaction is usually between -20°C and 0°C. A primary amine, a trifluoroacetic acid, and vinylene are required for the reaction to occur. Methyl 2-acetyl-3-oxobutanoate can be converted to an amide or pyrazole derivatives by hydrogenolysis. M2OB has a carboxylate group that is hydrolyzed by acidic conditions. M2OB reacts with pentamethoxybenzene in a pyrimidine compound synthesis.

2-Prop-2-ynoxyisoindoline-1,3-dione is a multifunctional pyridine derivative with potential anticancer activity. It has been shown to inhibit HDAC and panobinostat, an inhibitor of histone deacetylase. 2-Prop-2-ynoxyisoindoline-1,3-dione has a solubility of less than 20 mg/mL in most solvents and is insoluble in water. This compound has been shown to have a low yield when synthesized from 2,6-dichloropyridine. These properties are advantageous for cell culture studies because they allow for the detection of changes in cellular morphology and the frequency of cell division. 2-Prop-2-ynoxyisoindoline-1,3-dione also has an activated aromatic ring that can be used as a prodrug to activate other compounds that need activation at this site (e.g., transition metals).
