Building Blocks

1-Ethyl-2-ethynylbenzene is an indene that can be synthesized by the reaction of 1-ethylbenzene with ethynylmagnesium bromide and trifluoroacetyl chloride. 1-Ethyl-2-ethynylbenzene reacts as a nucleophile with electrophiles, such as phenylsulfonyl and acetylene compounds, to form sulfones and acetylenes. It can also react with tetrafluoroborates to form indenes.

1,3-Diazaspiro[4.4]nonane-2,4-dione (1) is a new fungicide that was shown to have fungicidal activity in vitro against the grapevine pathogens Plasmopara viticola and Plasmopara obducens. This compound has been isolated from the plant Express erythroxylum coca (Erythroxylum coca). The compound belongs to the class of diaza spiro compounds and is a member of a family of diaza spiro compounds with antifungal activity. One possible mode of action for 1 is that it inhibits the synthesis of DNA by binding to bacterial DNA gyrase.

3-Acetylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione is an experimental drug that belongs to the class of metal hydroxides. It has been shown to have anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo against a variety of malignant tumors. 3-Acetylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione also inhibits the growth of pigweed and other plants by inhibiting the production of tenuazonic acid. This compound is a tautomeric form of tenuazonic acid, which is also known as 2,4-pentanedione. The carboxylate group on this molecule may be responsible for its herbicidal activity.

2,2,3,3,4,4-Hexafluorobutyric acid is a hydroxylated organic compound. It has been shown to be more chemically stable than other quaternary ammonium compounds. 2,2,3,3,4,4-Hexafluorobutyric acid is used as a polymerization initiator for the preparation of cationic polymers. This chemical can also be used to fragment proteins and nucleic acids in order to prepare samples for analysis by mass spectrometry. 2HFBA is reactive and can cause irritation on contact with the skin or eyes. It has been shown that this chemical may have an effect on body mass index and can bind to calcium ions.

(S)-(+)-1-Bromo-2-methylbutane is a chiral molecule with two stereoisomers, the cis and trans forms. The cis form has been observed to be the more stable of the two. It is a functional theory that these two forms are not mirror images of each other because they have different conformations. (S)-(+)-1-Bromo-2-methylbutane has been used in the synthesis of a number of important molecules. The stereoisomers can be distinguished by conformational analysis and optical microscopy. (S)-(+)-1-Bromo-2-methylbutane also has an application in biotechnology for use as a precursor for hydrazones, which are important in organic chemistry and molecular biology, such as DNA sequencing.

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
