General description

Reaction of 6-bromo-1-hexene with Mg to form Grignard compounds has been investigated. The thermal chemistry of 6-bromo-1-hexene on Ni (100) surface has been studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption.

Application

6-Bromo-1-hexene was used in the preparation of epoxide, 6-bromo-1,2-epoxyhexane. It was also used in a simple, direct preparation of 4-alkenylbenzonitriles via anionic reduced forms of terephthalonitrile in liquid ammonia.

We describe the development of biocatalysis for producing optically pure straight-chain (S)-epoxyalkanes using styrene monooxygenase of Rhodococcus sp. strain ST-10 (RhSMO). RhSMO was expressed in the organic solvent-tolerant microorganism Kocuria rhizophila DC2201, and the bioconversion reaction was performed in an
