摘要

A low cost method wnich does not use dangerous or expensive reagents is described for the manufacture of vicinal, heterogeneous dihalogenated products from alkenes and alkynes by enzymatic reaction. The respective alkene or alkyne is reacted with a halogenating enzyme, an oxidizing agent and two different halide ions. Cartain dihalogenated novel propanol and butanediol compounds are included.
