Triethyl 3-bromopropane-1,1,1-tricarboxylate (TRI) is a purine that is used as a supplement in the form of its salts. It has been found to be an active compound for the treatment of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). TRI inhibits viral replication by acting on the viral DNA polymerase and blocking the synthesis of DNA, which prevents viral replication. TRI also inhibits cellular protein synthesis through inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase and guanosine kinase. This compound can also be converted to famciclovir, which is currently FDA approved for the treatment of HSV infections. TRI can be synthesized using a catalytic process or a hydrogenolysis process. Catalytic processes are generally preferred because they are more economical than hydrogenolysis processes; however, both methods produce impurities that must be removed before the desired product can be

2-Adamantanol is a biologically active compound that can be found in the form of an oily liquid. It has been shown to have effects on the central nervous system, including analgesia, sedation, and muscle relaxation. 2-Adamantanol is also used as a solvent for organic compounds and as a chemical intermediate. In addition to these properties, it can be found in some polyurethane foam insulation materials and in some rubber products. The mechanism of 2-adamantanol's biological activity is not well understood, but it may involve hydrogen bonding with hydroxyl groups on proteins or other molecules. There are many different ways to synthesize 2-adamantanol; however, one of the most commonly used synthesis methods is through reaction between 1-adamantanol and trifluoroacetic acid followed by hydrogenation with a metal catalyst. 2-Adamantanol has been observed to react with deuterium isotopes through transfer reactions during titration
