General description

2-Methyl-1-hexene is a less reactive olefin that is hydroformylated in the presence of phosphite-modified rhodium catalysts. The epoxidation of 2-methyl-1-hexene is catalyzed by human and rat P450 enzymes.

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
