14pentadieeni

14pentadiene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H8. It is a conjugated diene, meaning it contains two carbon-carbon double bonds separated by a single bond. The "1,4" in its name indicates the positions of these double bonds within the five-carbon chain. Specifically, the double bonds are located between carbon 1 and 2, and between carbon 4 and 5. The central carbon, number 3, is a methylene group (CH2).

This compound is a colorless liquid and is volatile. Like other dienes, 14pentadiene can undergo various addition reactions, particularly polymerization. The conjugation of the double bonds influences its reactivity, making it a useful monomer in the synthesis of certain polymers. It can also participate in cycloaddition reactions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction, although its specific regiochemistry and stereochemistry would depend on the reaction partner. 14pentadiene is typically synthesized through specific organic reactions designed to create conjugated diene systems. Its applications are primarily in the field of organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
