General Description

6-Bromo-1,2-epoxyhexane is a chemical compound with the formula C6H11BrO. It is a halogenated epoxyalkane, which is a group of organic compounds that contain a three-membered epoxy ring and a halogen atom. This particular compound contains a bromine atom and a six-carbon chain with an epoxide functional group. It is commonly used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. The presence of the bromine atom makes 6-Bromo-1,2-epoxyhexane reactive and useful in various chemical reactions, making it an important building block in organic chemistry. However, its reactivity and potential toxicity also require special handling and proper precautions when working with this compound.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Oxo-Molybdenum(V)-Corrolato Complexes in Epoxidation Reactions

Sharpless et al. have described, while performing the molybdenum-catalyzed epoxidation reaction of olefins using alkyl hydroperoxides, that the molybdenum-oxo moiety is an active catalytic species. Thus, continuous efforts have been made to synthesize molybdenum-oxo complexes of different ligand environments. While plenty of such works on molybdenum porphyrins are reported in the literature, related molybdenum corroles are very less reported. The synthesis and characterization of two new oxo-molybdenum(V)-corrolato complexes are described herein. Both the complexes have been fully characterized by several spectroscopic techniques in conjunction with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The efficacy of the oxo-molybdenum(V)-corrolato complexes for the catalytic epoxidation reaction of olefins with the help of hydroperoxides has also been explored. The catalytic application of oxo-molybdenum(V)-corrolato complexes in the epoxidation reaction has not been reported earlier. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the experimental findings.

Photoinduced Alignment of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals Using Azobenzene Polymer Networks of Polyethers and Polyepoxides

Several divinyl ether and diepoxide monomers bearing an azobenzene moiety were synthesized and used to investigate the photoalignment of a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) with no use of surface orientation layers. Azobenzene polymer networks, obtained by cationic polymerization of the monomers dissolved in the FLC host and exposed to linearly polarized irradiation, were found to be able to induce and stabilize a bulk alignment of FLC. Photoinduced reorientation of the FLC can also be achieved by changing the polarization of irradiation light, but in contrast with the use of chiral azobenzene poly(meth)acrylates,1 the results suggest a mechanism based on the formation of an anisotropic azobenzene polyether or polyepoxide network for the commanding effect on the FLC alignment.
