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.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
