5-Methylindole-3-carboxaldehyde is a reagent used in chemical synthesis. It has been used in the synthesis of carboline derivatives for the treatment of cancer, pyrimidines inhibiting h. pylori infections 5-ht2c agonists, and flexible tripodal ligands useful with metal complexes.

Perylene is a polycyclic hydrocarbon. When used as a dye perylene displays a blue fluorescence, making it useful as a lipid probe in cytochemistry. It is also used in peroxyoxalate luminescence and has the strongest chemiluminescent response out of the fluorophores used. Perylene also forms the basis for the synthesis of several other dyes such as vat red 29.

5-Nitroindole is a reagent involved in the synthesis of a variety of biochemical compounds, including: 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine analogs, mGlu4 allosteric modulators, protein kinase inhibitors, antiproliferative agents, anti-HIV 1 agents, antifungal agents, anti-leukemic agents, antivascular agents, anticancer agents, and cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) antagonists.

1,8-Octanediol is a diol and fatty alcohol. It is typically used as a monomer in the synthesis of polymers like polyesters and polyurethanes, along with a preservative due to its bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties. Biodegradable films are also synthesized with 1,8-Octanediol.

6-Nitroindole is a reagent used in chemical synthesis. It is a universal base with oligodeoxynucleotides. It has been used in the synthesis of several DNA and RNA based modulators and inhibitors.

L-Tyrosine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin is used as an AMC fluorogenic substrate.
