Chemistry:Cyclopentene

From HandWiki

Cyclopentene is a chemical compound with the formula (CH
2
)
3
(CH)
2
. It is a colorless liquid with a petrol-like odor. It has few applications, and thus is mainly used as a minor component of gasoline, present in concentrations of less than 1%.[1][2] It is one of the principal cycloalkenes.

History and synthesis

Cyclopentene was first prepared by Carl Gärtner in 1893 from iodocyclopentane with potassium hydroxide. He named it pentamethenylene (German: Pentamethenylen).[3]

Cyclopentene is produced industrially in large amounts by steam cracking of naphtha. In the laboratory, it is prepared by dehydration of cyclopentanol.[4] Substituted cyclopentenes are the product of the vinylcyclopropane-cyclopentene rearrangement.[5]

It can also be produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene.[6]

Reactions

The polymerization of cyclopentene by Ziegler-Natta catalysts yields 1,3-linkages, not the more typical 1,2-linked polymer.[7]

Palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of cyclopentene gives cyclopentanecarboxylic acid:[8]
