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.
