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

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

Compared with its isomer cyclohexa-1,4-diene, cyclohexa-1,3-diene is about 1.6 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.
