Production

It is produced by 1,3-butadiene dimerizes in a Diels-Alder reaction.[5][4] The reaction is conducted at 110 - 425 °C at pressures of 1.3 - 100 MPa in the presence of a catalyst. A mixture of silicon carbide and salts of copper or chromium comprises the catalyst. A competing product is 1,5-cyclooctadiene.

Safety

4-Vinylcyclohexene is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen by the IARC ("possibly carcinogenic to humans").[2]
