2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid monohydrate is a buffering agent that belongs to the group of acidic compounds. It is used as an analytical reagent in microbiology and biochemistry. 2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid monohydrate can be used to measure the toll-like receptor (TLR) response of cells, which has been shown to be involved in cancer cell viability, infectious diseases, and plant metabolism. This compound also has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the bacterial ribosome. 2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid monohydrate binds with malonic acid for fluorescence probe analysis and can be used as a model system for plant metabolism and redox potential.

2-(4-Benzyloxyphenyl)ethanol is an organic compound that has a particle size of less than 10 μm and is soluble in water. It is used as a reaction system for the production of tannins, which are polyphenolic compounds that have antioxidant properties. 2-(4-Benzyloxyphenyl)ethanol also inhibits maltase activity and metal ion-induced allylic oxidation. This compound can be used to inhibit fatty acid synthesis, which is important for the prevention of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.

Chloroiodomethane is a chemical that is used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is a colourless liquid with a strong odour. 3-Bromopropylamine hydrobromide reacts with chloroiodomethane to form 3-bromopropyl bromide, which can be reacted with hydrogen chloride to form the corresponding acid chloride. This reaction product can then be reacted with β-amino acids to form amides or esters. The reaction mechanism of this process involves nucleophilic substitution of chloroiodomethane by the amino group of the β-amino acid to produce an intermediate α,β-unsaturated carbonyl chloride, which undergoes elimination to give the final product. Chloroiodomethane also reacts rapidly with fatty acids and hydroxyl groups in biological systems, leading to inflammatory diseases such as HIV infection.

9-Fluorenemethanol is a chemical compound that is used as a reagent in analytical chemistry. It reacts with zirconium oxide to form 9-fluorenylmethyl zirconium chloride, which can be used to detect the presence of ethyl formate by fluorescence resonance spectroscopy. The reaction solution is heated at 100°C for about 4 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The isolated yield of 9-fluorenylmethyl zirconium chloride is determined by the detection time and thermodynamic parameters. This compound can also be used in acylation reactions.

Suitable for pesticide residue analysis2,2,4-Trimethylpentane is used as a solvent in spectrophotometric analysis and in organic synthesis. Due to its high antiknock octane number, it is widely employed as a standard reference fuel for octane ratings. It acts as an entrainer in azeotropic distillation as well as thinner. It is involved as processing aids in the petroleum industry. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
