General description

Hexylene glycol is commonly used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It helps in isolating chromosomes from the human cell line BALL-1.

Application


  • pH regulatory divergent point for the selective bio-oxidation of primary diols during resting cell catalysis.: This study highlights the role of Hexylene Glycol in biocatalysis, emphasizing its application in enhancing the selective oxidation of primary diols, which is pivotal for developing efficient bio-based production processes (Hua et al., 2022).
