General description

Cyclohexane participates as starting reagent in the photonitrosylation process (PNC process) and affords ε-caprolactam. Its oxidation by employing various oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and molecular oxygen has been reported.

Application

Cyclohexane has been used to prepare the 1.3M solution of sec-butyllithium. It may be used as starting reagent for the synthesis of adipic acid.

The exploration of marine Actinobacteria has as major challenge to answer basic questions of microbial ecology that, in turn, will provide useful information to exploit Actinobacteria metabolisms in biotechnological processes. The ecological functions performed by Actinobacteria in marine sediments are
