Cyclohexa-1,3-diene (also known as Benzane) is an
1,4-cyclohexadiene
.
Synthesis
Cyclohexadiene is prepared by the double
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
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 H2 (ΔH = +231.5 kJ/mol; endothermic)
- cyclohexane → benzene + 3 H2 (ΔH = +205 kJ/mol; endothermic)
- cyclohexa-1,3-diene → benzene + H2 (ΔH = -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
ruthenium trichloride to give (Benzene)ruthenium dichloride dimer.[7]
Occurrence
Cyclohexa-1,3-diene is a fairly common motif in nature.shikimic acid pathway. Of the several examples of the terpenoids and terpenes, a prominent example is phellandrene.
Coenzyme A-conjugated to the 2-position of cyclohexadiene-2-carboxylic acid is an intermediate in the biodegradation of aromatic carboxylic acids.[9]
