Potential Chemicals:

1. Butyramide
Other names: Butanamide; n-Butylamide; n-Butyramide;
Molecular Formula:
C5H11NO
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 101.14694 g/mol


Uses: Butyramide was used in the synthesis of hydroxamic acids,
electrorheological fluids and -amodoorganotin compounds1. It was used as
substrate of (+)--lactamase to develop a microreactor to study enzyme
stability, activity, kinetics and substrate specificity.

2. Diformylhydrazine
Other names: 1,2-Hydrazinedicarboxaldehyde, Bicarbamaldehyde,
Diformohydrazide, s-Diformohydrazide
Molecular Formula:
C2H4N2O2
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 88.06536 g/mol


Uses: (Derivatives of this chemical have applications in pharmacology but
very little to nil direct commercial application. Will search more to find
some)

3. Enanthamide
Other names: Enanthic acid amide, 628-62-6, HPN, octanoylamide,
Heptamide
Molecular Formula:
C7H15NO
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 129.2001 g/mol


Uses:
(Relatively new, still under research, not much commercial applications)

4. Hexachloroethane
Other names: Perchloroethane, Ethane, hexachloro-, Avlothane, 67-72-1,
Carbon hexachloride, 1,1,1,2,2,2-Hexachloroethane
Molecular Formula:
C2Cl6
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 236.7394 g/mol


Uses: Hexachloroethane was used as catalyst in preparation of chlorosilanes
from hydrosilanes. It was used to investigate the transformation of
hexachloroethane in natural waters. It was used as reagent during
polycondensation reaction of p-aminobenzoic acid.

5. O-Methoxybenzoic Acid
Other names: 2-METHOXYBENZOIC ACID, 579-75-9, Benzoic acid, 2methoxy-, O-Methylsalicylic acid, 2-Anisic acid
Molecular Formula:
C8H8O3
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 152.14732 g/mol


Uses: 4-Methoxybenzoic acid was used in oxidation and reduction of
cytochrome c in solution through different self-assembled monolayers on
gold electrodes using cyclic voltammetry.

6. Oxalic Acid (anhydrous)


Other names: ethanedioic acid, 144-62-7, Aktisal, Aquisal, oxalate, Oxiric
acid
Molecular Formula:
C2H2O4
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 90.03488 g/mol


Uses: Vaporized oxalic acid, or a 3.2% solution of oxalic acid in sugar syrup,
is used by some beekeepers as a miticide against the parasitic varroa mite.
Oxalic acid is rubbed onto completed marble sculptures to seal the surface
and introduce a shine. It is also used to clean iron and manganese deposits
from quartz crystals. Oxalic acid is used as a bleach for wood, removing
black stains caused by water penetration.

7. Pyrene
Other names: Benzo[def]phenanthrene, Pyren, beta-Pyrene, .beta.-Pyrene
Molecular Formula:
C16H10
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 202.2506 g/mol


Uses: Pyrene and its derivatives are used commercially to make dyes and
dye precursors, for example pyranine and naphthalene-1,4,5,8tetracarboxylic acid. Its derivatives are also valuable molecular probes via
fluorescence spectroscopy, having a high quantum yield and lifetime (0.65
and 410 nanoseconds, respectively, in ethanol at 293 K). Its fluorescence
emission spectrum is very sensitive to solvent polarity, so pyrene has been
used as a probe to determine solvent environments. This is due to its
excited state having a different, non-planar structure than the ground state.
Certain emission bands are unaffected, but others vary in intensity due to
the strength of interaction with a solvent.

8. Salicyclic acid
Other names: 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid, oCarboxyphenol, 2-Carboxyphenol, Salonil, Rutranex
Molecular Formula:
C7H6O3
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 138.12074 g/mol


Uses: Salicylic acid is known for its ability to ease aches and pains and
reduce fevers. These medicinal properties, particularly fever relief, have been
known since ancient times, and it is used as an anti-inflammatory drug.
Methyl salicylate is used as an ointment to soothe joint and muscle pain,
and choline salicylate is used topically to relieve the pain of mouth ulcers.

9. Urea
Other names: carbamide, Isourea, Carbonyldiamide, Carbonyldiamine,
Ureophil, Urevert
Molecular Formula:
CH4N2O
Structure:

Molecular Weight: 60.05526 g/mol


Uses:
Used for the denaturation of proteins and as a mild solubilization agent for
insoluble or denatured proteins. Useful for renaturing proteins from
samples already denatured with 6 M guanidine chloride such as inclusion
bodies. May be used with guanidine hydrochloride and dithiothreitrol (DTT)
in the refolding of denatured proteins into their native or active form.
