1,3-Cyclohexadiene is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)2(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

1,3-Cyclohexadiene can also be prepared by the electrocyclic reaction from 1,3,5-hexatriene either photochemically or at temperatures above 110 °C.[2]

Reactions

Useful reactions of this diene are cycloadditions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction.[3]

Conversion of 1,3-cyclohexadiene to benzene + hydrogen is exothermic by about 25 kJ/mol (gas phase).[4][5]

cyclohexane → 1,3-cyclohexadiene + 2 H2 ΔH +231.5 kJ/mol (endothermic)
cyclohexane → benzene + + 3 H2 ΔH +205 kJ (endothermic)
1,3-cyclohexadiene → benzene + H2 ΔH -26.5 kJ (exothermic)

Compared with its isomer 1,4-cyclohexadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene is about 8.5 kJ/mol more stable.[6]

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]+.[7] Cyclohexadienes react with ruthenium trichloride to give (benzene)ruthenium dichloride dimer.
