Titin
Protein responsible for use in regulating muscles, or something to that accord. Sounds like tit, though maybe more familiar as C₁₆₉₇₁₉H₂₇₀₄₆₆N₄₅₆₈₈O₅₂₂₃₈S₉₁₁, or Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucylphenylalanylalanylglutaminyll...serxisoleucine.
Arsole
C₄H₅As. Probably requires a masters in organic chemistry to decipher the wiki page for that one, so research it yourself if you really care about the properties of arsole.
Moronic Acid
Think I know a few people who deal with moronic acid reflux, just comes straight up the throat and out the mouth. C₃₀H₄₆O₃, useful for HIV and Herpes treatment
Dickite
Clay mineral, first discovered in Anglesey, formula Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄
Sonic hedgehog
Protein important for signalling the development of organs during pregnancy, also a potential cause of some cancers. You are brought into this world and potentially departed from it by Sonic hedgehog. Also note its inhibitor, 'Robotnikinin'.
Cumene
Derivative of crude oil, used in production of Acetone. Also a colourless liquid. C₉H₁₂ folks.
Bongcrack acid
Okay, lie, it's Bongkrek acid. Still, funny! C₂₈H₃₈O₇, the cause of hundreds of deaths in Indonesia from incorrectly fermented Tempe, which isn't funny.
Thebacon
Formerly used as an opioid painkiller, similar to hydrocodone. Thebacon is illegal for use in the United States. C₂₀H₂₃NO₄.
Nonanal
Incredibly fragrant molecule, which invited plenty of penetration... From Culex spp. mosquitoes. CH₃(CH₂)₇CHO
Any suggestions? Many of these are on the wikipedia page for chemical compounds with unusual names, see there for a more complete list.

It's not a chemical compound, but there's a mineral called Cummingtonite.
Pronounced exactly like you think.
