Application

  • Poly (epichlorohydrin-co-1, 2-epoxyhexane)–a promising precursor for an energetic azido polymer for cast-cure: Discusses the synthesis of a copolymer using epichlorohydrin and 1,2-epoxyhexane, aiming to develop an internal plasticizer for energetic applications (TM Klapötke, 2016).
  • Synthesis of hierarchically porous zeolite TS-1 with small crystal size and its performance of 1-hexene epoxidation reaction: This study investigates the catalytic performance of 1,2-epoxyhexane in the preparation of intermediates for various chemical industries (M Zhang et al., 2021).
  • Bioproduction of Chiral Epoxyalkanes using Styrene Monooxygenase from Rhodococcus sp. ST‐10 (RhSMO): Focuses on the enzymatic production of (S)-1,2-epoxyhexane using a biocatalyst, highlighting its potential in creating chiral epoxyalkanes (H Toda et al., 2014).
  • Silica islands regulated external Ti‐site environment of TS‐1 for enhanced performance of 1‐hexene epoxidation: Explores the use of modified TS-1 catalysts to improve the selectivity and performance of 1,2-epoxyhexane in epoxidation reactions (J Yuan et al., 2023).
  • Gas-phase Photocatalytic Oxidation of 1-Hexene Using Heterogeneous Semiconductor Materials: Describes the synthesis of 1,2-epoxyhexane through gas-phase photocatalytic oxidation, focusing on the selectivity and efficiency of the process (EA Kamba et al., 2023).
