Application

trans-1,4-Dichloro-2-butene may be used for the alkylation of adenine to 9-alkylpurines. It can react with diethyl malonate to form vinylcyclopropane derivative. It can also undergo asymmetric allylic alkylation with Grignard reagents in the presence of copper thiophene carboxylate catalyst.

Gas-phase photocatalysis of 1,4-dichlorobut-2-enes and 3,4-dichlorobut-1-ene (DCB) has been studied using TiO2 and 3% WO3/TiO2 supported on SiO2. DCB was found to oxidize efficiently over these catalysts; however, only low rates of CO2 formation were observed. With these chlorinated hydrocarbons
