Alpha-olefin epoxides

PDPGE = 3-n-pentadecenyl phenyl glycidyl ether C,6 a-OE = C,6 alpha olefin epoxide... 

The enzyme catalysed epoxidation of alpha-olefins like 1-octene with oxygen to the optically active epoxide provides an interesting example of a four-phase system (de Bont et al., 1983). The hold-up of the organic phase may be 2-4 % and the presence of biosurface active agents leads to the creation of a large liquid-liquid interfacial area the liquid droplet size becomes smaller than the gas-liquid diffusion film thickness.
