1,4-Cyclohexadiene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 8. It is a colourless, flammable liquid that is of academic interest as a prototype of a large class of related compounds called terpenoids, an example being γ-terpinene. An isomer of this compound is 1,3-cyclohexadiene.
Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.
These compounds usually form the -1, +1, +3 and +5 oxidation states. Bromine is intermediate in reactivity between chlorine and iodine, and is one of the most reactive elements. Bond energies to bromine tend to be lower than those to chlorine but higher than those to iodine, and bromine is a weaker oxidising agent than chlorine but a stronger ...
Note, elsewhere an organic chemistry shorthand is used where hydrogen atoms are inferred as present to fill the carbon's valence of 4 (rather than their being shown explicitly). Paclitaxel , another complex, plant-derived terpenoid , also a natural product, displaying a complex multi-ring structure including 4-, 6-, and 8-membered rings ...
Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene. These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative. [2] 1-Bromohexane undergoes reactions expected of simple alkyl bromides. It can form Grignard reagents. [3]
A prominent example is the carbon dioxide dimer, [4] which is likely to be relevant to Venus atmosphere. [5] Excimers and exciplexes are excited structures with a short lifetime. For example, noble gases do not form stable dimers, but they do form the excimers Ar 2 *, Kr 2 * and Xe 2 * under high pressure and electrical stimulation. [6]
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 (diene)iron tricarbonyl complexes. Illustrative is [(C 6 H 8)Fe(CO) 3], an orange liquid. This complex reacts with hydride-abstracting reagents to give the cyclohexadienyl derivative [(C 6 H 7)Fe(CO) 3 ...
A copper chromite catalyst is usually used industrially. [1] The cis/trans ratio of the CHDM is affected by the catalyst. [2] Byproduct of this process are 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (CH 3 C 6 H 10 CH 2 OH) and the monoester methyl 4-methyl-4-cyclohexanecarboxylate (CH 3 C 6 H 10 CO 2 CH 3, CAS registry number 51181-40-9).
