Cyclobutene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C
4H
6. It is a cycloalkene. It is a colorless gas that easily condenses. It is of interest in research but currently has no practical applications. A modern synthesis involves the 2-step dehydration of cyclobutanol.[1] The compound was first prepared by thermolysis of the ammonium salt [C
4H
7N(CH
3)
3]OH (cyclobutyltrimethylammonium hydroxide).[2]
Cyclobutene thermally isomerizes to 1,3-butadiene. This strongly exothermic reaction reflects the dominance of ring strain. In contrast, the corresponding equilibrium for hexafluorocyclobutene disfavors hexafluorobutadiene.[3]
