Chemistry:1,3-Cycloheptadiene

From HandWiki

1,3-Cycloheptadiene is a highly flammable cycloalkene that occurs as a colorless clear liquid.

Reactions

Over a heated Pt(111) surface, 1,3-cycloheptadiene binds to the platinum, loses hydrogen to form a cycloheptatriene, and when strongly heated forms a layer of carbon.[1]
