The phrase "alternative compound" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing a different type of compound or a substitute for a compound in chemistry or other fields.
Example: "In our research, we found that the alternative compound exhibited better stability than the original formulation."
Alternatives: "substitute compound" or "replacement compound".
DuPont, rather than use an alternative compound, built a new factory in Fayetteville, N.C., to manufacture the substance for its own use.
To improve the photocatalytic activity of CO2 conversion, alternative compound semiconductors with high visible absorption light absorption properties have been considered as photocatalysts for CO2 conversion.
The currently used insecticides are efficient, but safety concerns and the development of insecticide-resistant mosquito strains warrant the search for alternative compound classes for vector control.
To come up with an alternative compound, a team led by pharmacologist Daniela Salvemini and chemist Dennis Riley of MetaPhore Pharmaceuticals in St . Louisstarted with manganese, the least toxic of the three metals that can duplicate SOD's catalytic activity.
It was found that in the range of nanoscale, arrays of holes and mounds on Hg0.777Cd0.223Te (111) surface as well as the polycrystalline Hg1 − x Cd x Te cubic phase with alternative compound (x ~ 0.20) have been fabricated using 100 keV ion beam irradiation of the basic material.
Thus, from the results of AFM, XRD, and XPS measurements, it was found that in the range of nanoscale, arrays of holes and mounds on MCT (111) surface as well as the polycrystalline MCT cubic phase with alternative compound (x ~ 0.20) and a new phase of metal-oxide (Ag2O) have been fabricated using 100 keV ion beam irradiation of the basic material.
But because the compounds were persistent in the environment and in human blood, the company said it alerted regulators and began working to come up with alternative compounds.
This work considered several alternative compounds with structural features similar to DEHP.
His team has worked to assess the etching efficacy of a variety of alternative compounds, measuring the effluents of these processes to determine their potential environmental, safety and health impacts.
Earlier reports to discover alternative compounds have resulted in molecules with nearly same scaffold structure and without diversity in chemical space.
The present study suggests that the tested EOs may be suitable as alternative compounds in integrated pest management programs for B. tabaci and T. ricini.
