Application

1,4-Cyclohexadiene (1,4-CHD) was used to study the formation of parent ion from heavy fragmentation of 1,4-CHD on irradiation with a high-intensity laser pulse.
Useful for the reduction of radical intermediates formed in electron-transfer mediated ring-opening reactions

General description

1,4-Cyclohexadiene is an effective hydrogen donor for catalytic hydrogenation reactions. It can rapidly replace benzyl groups of N-benzyloxycarbamates, benzyl esters, benzyl ethers and benzyl amines with hydrogen. It forms benzene at elevated temperatures in the presence of a ruthenium(II)-triphenylphosphine catalyst.

A cyclohexadiene ligand prepared by microbial arene 1,2-dihydroxylation undergoes spontaneous rearrangement upon complexation to tricarbonyliron(0). Subsequent iron removal affords a novel route to formal arene 2,3-dihydroxylation products enantiomeric to those obtainable by direct microbial arene oxidation.

Relatively little is known about structural transformations of very small metal clusters that result from the adsorption of molecules. Here, the ligand-induced structural transformation of Ag(5)(+)(g) by 1,4-cyclohexadiene, which is capable of binding metal clusters as a bidentate ligand, is

We report the first study of UV-induced photoisomerization probed via core ionization by an x-ray laser. We investigated x-ray ionization and fragmentation of the cyclohexadiene-hexatriene system at 850 eV during the ring opening. We find that the ion-fragmentation patterns evolve
