Methylamine is used as a building block for the synthesis of many other commercially available compounds.

Methyl nicotinate (methyl pyridine-3-carboxylate) is an ester of methyl alcohol and nicotinic acid. It is a rubefacient.

Methyl 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylate is used in chemical synthesis.

Lauryl gallate (Dodecyl gallate) is the ester of dodecanol and gallic acid that exhibits both potent chain-breaking and preventive antioxidant activity.

Indole-2-carboxylic acid is a strong inhibitor of lipid peroxidation.

10-Undecen-1-ol is used as a flavoring agent.

(R)-Serine is the R-enantiomer of serine, which is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. (R)-Serine acts as obligatory coagonist at the glycine site associated with the N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of glutamate receptors (NMDAR) and has a cardinal modulatory role in major NMDAR-dependent processes including NMDAR-mediated neurotransmission, neurotoxicity, synaptic plasticity, and cell migration.

Triethyl citrate (Ethyl citrate, E1505, Citric acid ethyl ester) is used in pharmaceutical coatings and plastics.

Ethyl potassium malonate (Potassium 3-ethoxy-3-oxopropanoate) is used as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. It acts as a precursor to produce (trimethylsilyl)ethyl malonate, which is utilized to prepare beta-ketoesters by acylation and serves as an intermediate for the preparation of ethyl tert-butyl malonate.

Methyl cinnamate, an active component of Zanthoxylum armatum, is a widely used natural flavor compound with antimicrobial and tyrosinase inhibitor activities. Methyl Cinnamate Inhibits Adipocyte Differentiation via Activation of the CaMKK2–AMPK Pathway in 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes.
