Isododecane, mixture of isomer acts as a reaction medium used for polymerization reactions. It is also useful as an emollient and solvent in skin care products due to its high spreadability, low viscosity and density. It is commonly used in anti-aging serums and also useful in many different cosmetic items like eyeliner, hair care, hair sprays, perfume, conditioners and lotions. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

2-(Pentafluorophenyl)ethanol is a fluorinated alcohol that can be used in the synthesis of other chemicals. The conformation of this molecule has been determined by its ability to form hydrogen bonds with the triarylbismuth-fluoride ion. 2-(Pentafluorophenyl)ethanol has a similar structure to phenol and pentafluorobenzene, but with an extra fluorine atom on the ring. This hydrocarbon group is inexpensively synthesized from ethylene and pentafluorobenzene, which are both readily available. 2-(Pentafluorophenyl)ethanol may be used as medicine for treatment of optical nerve diseases such as glaucoma or retinal detachment. A single-crystal x-ray diffraction study was performed to determine the molecular structure of this compound.

2-Chloroethyl methyl sulfide (2CEMS) is a reactive compound that has been shown to enhance membrane interactions and fatty acid metabolism in experimental models. 2CEMS is a substrate molecule for the reaction mechanism of the enzyme phospholipase A2, which plays an important role in the production of arachidonic acid. 2CEMS has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, with cell death occurring as a result of kinetic energy emissions. The halides in 2CEMS can coordinate with hematopoietic cells, leading to the inhibition of their proliferation and differentiation. 2CEMS is also able to bind with various metals such as copper and zinc, which may be useful for pharmaceutical drug applications.

2-(2-Phenoxyethoxy)ethanol (BPE) is a polycarboxylic acid that is used as an additive in the production of coatings, adhesives and plastics. It is a colorless liquid with a mild odor. BPE has synergic effect with cationic polymers and surfactants, which results in high resistance to water, oil and gas. This product can be used as an additive for cationic polymerization, which will increase the hydrophobicity of the material. BPE also has a high degree of resistance to biological treatment (e.g., potassium dichromate).
