Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate is an organic compound that belongs to the class of fatty acids. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor. Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate has been shown to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species and has antioxidant potential. It also inhibits bone resorption, which may be due to its ability to reduce levels of isobutyric acid in rats and humans. Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate has been found in tropical fruits such as mangoes, durians, and papayas.

Iodonicotinonitrile is a versatile and efficient regioselective coupling catalyst for the synthesis of substituted heteroaryl bromides. Iodonicotinonitrile converts potassium iodide to an iodonium salt with copper(I) chloride, which in turn reacts with aryl or heteroaryl bromides to give the desired products in high yields. The use of iodonicotinonitrile as a coupling agent provides advantages over other methods such as the addition of iodine to an aryl halide. The use of iodonicotinonitrile is advantageous because it can be used in both acidic and basic conditions and is also more efficient than other methods.
