ID-4708

ID-4708 is a chemistry topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand ID-4708 rather than just read about it. In short: ID-4708 is a butyrophenone neuroleptic agent. It has the same structure as for trifluperidol but differs by the incorporation of an aniline amino group into the butyrophenone sidechain.

Key takeaways

ID-4708 belongs to chemistry; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect ID-4708 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of ID-4708 from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

ID-4708 is a butyrophenone neuroleptic agent. It has the same structure as for trifluperidol but differs by the incorporation of an aniline amino group into the butyrophenone sidechain. Whereas trifluperidol is a Belgian drug developed at Janssen Pharmaceuticals, ID-4708 was developed by a Japanese company called Sumitomo Chemical in the 1970’s. ID-4708 when given at low doses reduced ambulation, while at higher doses defecation was inhibited.

Synthesis The chemical synthesis of ID-4708 was reported:

2-Acetylbutyrolactone [517-23-7] (1) 4-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid [394-01-4] (2) 4-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride [57750-82-0] (3) 3-(4-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzoyl)oxolan-2-one [62513-47-7] (4) 4-Bromo-1-(4-fluoro-2-nitrophenyl)butan-1-one [62513-48-8] (5) 2-(3-Bromopropyl)-2-(4-fluoro-2-nitrophenyl)-1,3-dioxolane [62513-50-2] (6) 4-hydroxy-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperidine [2249-28-7] (7) PC86735492 (8) PC70620175 (9)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with ID-4708

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what ID-4708 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to ID-4708 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about ID-4708 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of ID-4708

In research: ID-4708 appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses ID-4708 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: ID-4708 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl compounds, 4-Phenylpiperidines, Anilines, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for ID-4708 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is ID-4708 in simple terms?

ID-4708 is a butyrophenone neuroleptic agent. It has the same structure as for trifluperidol but differs by the incorporation of an aniline amino group into the butyrophenone sidechain.

Why does ID-4708 matter?

Because it connects several chemistry ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study ID-4708?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
