1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-methylbut-2-en-1-one is a conformationally constrained analogue of diethyl malonate. It is an analog of diethyl malonate that has been stabilized by the addition of a fluorine atom in the para position. This molecule has three chiral centers, and its crystal structure has been determined using X-ray crystallography. The molecule has a planar surface with one hydroxyl group and one methyl group on each side of the plane. The molecule can be used as a fingerprinting probe and as an intermediate for organic synthesis.

4-Cyclopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-amine is a nitrogenous compound that can be taken up by plants through their roots and transported to other parts of the plant. It is used as a fungicide and is labelled for use on anaerobic soils, which are not suitable for many agricultural purposes. The uptake of 4-cyclopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-amine has been shown to be initially high in the presence of oxygen, but decreases with time. It is also radioactive, emitting γ rays at a rate of 0.0003% per hour. 4-Cyclopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-amine reacts with cyprodinil to form a pyrimidine intermediate, which then reacts with oxygen to form a final product that can be detected by radioactivity. In addition, this molecule has been found to have antiinflammatory effects in mice.

3-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzamide is an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs, dyes, and other organic chemicals. It is produced by the reaction of methoxyacetic acid with nitric acid. This compound is used as a starting material for the production of many pharmaceuticals, such as 3-methoxy-4-(2-chlorophenyl)benzamide, 3-methoxy-4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)benzamide, and 3-methoxy-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)benzamide. 3MMB can also be used to synthesize acrylonitrile.

Geosmin is a volatile organic compound that is produced by certain types of bacteria, such as actinomycetes, and can be found in soil, water, and air. Geosmin has been identified as the cause of "earthy" or "musty" flavors in drinking water. Geosmin can be detected by olfactometry techniques and quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The technique involves spiking a sample with an appropriate amount of geosmin to achieve the desired concentration for analysis. Geosmin can also be removed from samples using desorption methods. This process involves heating the sample at a high temperature to release geosmin from the surface adsorbed on the solid phase into the vapor phase where it can be collected on a trap. This method is used to analyze geosmin levels in environmental samples such as groundwater or surface water.

Valrocemide is an amide laxative that is used to treat bowel disease. It is a long-term drug that can be used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but it only has short-term efficacy. Valrocemide works by increasing water content in the colon and by stimulating nerve endings in the colon, causing contraction of the muscle cells and expelling contents. Valrocemide also reduces inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. The drug interactions with valproic acid, carbamazepine, and phenobarbital are not well understood. This medication may cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or headache. Valrocemide also causes allergic reactions in some patients.
