General description

Cyclohexane undergoes oxidation in the presence of various oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and molecular oxygen.

Application

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

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
