6-Amino-1-hexanol can undergo cyclization over copper supported on γ-alumina and magnesia to form hexahydro-1H-azepine. It may be used along with glutaric acid to generate poly(ester amide)s with excellent film- and fiber forming properties.
6-Amino-1-hexanol is used as pharmaceutical intermediate.
6-Amino-1-hexanol is used in the synthesis of guanidino analogs of roscovitine, which is a cyclin-dependant kinase. Also used in the preparation of tocotrienols which maintain anticancer, antiprolifer
ative and antimigratory activity. Behery, F
