i want remove part of first column looks below 

      v1              v2     phenzine    2.376140e-05     dnium.bte   2.423254e-05     trene       2.438986e-05     tilli       2.495574e-05     tnolone     2.511859e-05

i know must use grep or sub not

you can try below regex if 'mo' common elements 

 df1$v1 <- sub('\\.mo.*', '', df1$v1)

suppose, want remove strings . followed first capital letter

 sub('\\.[a-z].*', '', df1$v1)  #[1] "phenzine"  "dnium.bte" "trene"     "tilli"     "tnolone"

or if more specific

sub('\\.(mo|no|nr).*', '', df1$v1) #[1] "phenzine"  "dnium.bte" "trene"     "tilli"     "tnolone"
