Bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane is a bifunctional organoboron reagent with an allyl group on one end and a cyclopropane on the other end. It is useful in organic synthesis as a nucleophile for allylation, as well as for the synthesis of unsymmetrical cyclopropanes. This compound can be used to catalyze asymmetric methods, such as the synthesis of alicyclic compounds. Bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane can also be used to synthesize biomolecules.

n-Dodecane is used as a solvent and a distillation chaser. It finds application as a diluent for tributyl phosphate (TBP) in reprocessing plants and as a possible surrogate for kerosene-based fuels in jet. It is an active component of scintillator as well as used in lubricants and greases. 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.

4-Amino-1-butanol is a natural compound that is not toxic to humans. It is amide with a hydrophilic interaction chromatography property, and has been shown to have hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes. 4-Amino-1-butanol has been shown to be an inhibitor of the HIV virus, with minimal toxicity. It has also been shown to inhibit the replication of the wild type virus in cells in vitro and in vivo, which is due to its ability to bind with the enzyme ethylene diamine. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a reduction in biological activity of amines.
