Cyclohexa-1,3-diene is an organic compound with the formula (C2H4)(CH)4. It is a colorless, flammable liquid. Its refractive index is 1.475 (20 °C, D). A naturally occurring derivative of 1,3-cyclohexadiene is terpinene, a component of pine oil.

Synthesis

Cyclohexadiene is prepared by the dehydrobromination of 1,2-dibromocyclohexane:[1]

(CH2)4(CHBr)2 + 2 NaH → (CH2)2(CH)4 + 2 NaBr + 2 H2

Reactions

Useful reactions of this diene are cycloadditions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction.[2]

Conversion of cyclohexa-1,3-diene to benzene + hydrogen is exothermic by about 25 kJ/mol in the gas phase.[3][4]

cyclohexane → cyclohexa-1,3-diene + 2 H2H = +231.5 kJ/mol; endothermic)
cyclohexane → benzene + 3 H2H = +205 kJ/mol; endothermic)
cyclohexa-1,3-diene → benzene + H2H = -26.5 kJ/mol; exothermic)

Compared with its isomer cyclohexa-1,4-diene, cyclohexa-1,3-diene is about 1.6 kJ/mol more stable.[5]

Cyclohexadiene and its derivatives form metal-alkene complexes. Illustrative is [C6H8)Fe(CO)3], an orange liquid. This complex reacts with hydride-abstracting reagents to give the cyclohexadienyl derivative [C6H7)Fe(CO)3]+.[6] Cyclohexadienes react with ruthenium trichloride to give (Benzene)ruthenium dichloride dimer.[7]
