Application

  • Preparation of cyclohexene isotopologues and stereoisotopomers from benzene: This groundbreaking study demonstrates the transformation of benzene into various forms of cyclohexene, expanding the potential applications of this compound in scientific research (JA Smith, KB Wilson, RE Sonstrom, PJ Kelleher, 2020).
  • Highly selective oxidation of cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexene-1-one in water using molecular oxygen over Fe–Co–gC3N4: This study explores an environmentally friendly method of oxidizing cyclohexene using molecular oxygen, showing potential for green chemistry applications (D Yang, T Jiang, T Wu, P Zhang, H Han, 2016).
