General description

1,4-Cyclohexadiene is an effective hydrogen donor for catalytic hydrogenation reactions[1]. It can rapidly replace benzyl groups of N-benzyloxycarbamates, benzyl esters, benzyl ethers and benzyl amines with hydrogen[1]. It forms benzene at elevated temperatures in the presence of a ruthenium(II)-triphenylphosphine catalyst[2].

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[3].
Useful for the reduction of radical intermediates formed in electron-transfer mediated ring-opening reactions

The experimentally measured bimolecular reaction rate constant, k(2), should in principle correlate with the theoretically calculated rate-limiting free energy barrier, ΔG(≠), through the Eyring equation, but it fails quite often to do so due to the inability of current computational

Benzene-cis- and trans-1,2-dihydrodiols undergo acid-catalyzed dehydration at remarkably different rates: k(cis)/k(trans) = 4500. This is explained by formation of a β-hydroxycarbocation intermediate in different initial conformations, one of which is stabilized by hyperconjugation amplified by an aromatic no-bond resonance structure

A quantitative understanding of the thermochemistry of cyclohexadienyl radical and 1,4-cyclohexadiene is beneficial for diverse areas of chemistry. Given the interest in these two species, it is surprising that more detailed thermodynamic data concerning the homolytic C-H bond enthalpies of
