CsC2H

CsC2H, also known as 1,3-cyclohexadiene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H10. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. CsC2H is a cycloalkene, specifically a hexadiene, which means it contains a six-membered ring with two double bonds. The molecule is planar, with the ring adopting a chair conformation.

CsC2H is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It can undergo various reactions, such as Diels-Alder reactions, which are useful for constructing complex organic molecules. Additionally, it can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of other cycloalkenes and aromatic compounds.

CsC2H is relatively stable under normal conditions but can undergo polymerization under certain conditions, forming a polymer known as polycyclohexadiene. This polymer has potential applications in the development of new materials with unique properties.

CsC2H is typically prepared by the dehydration of cyclohexanol or by the reduction of benzene. It can be stored at room temperature but should be kept away from heat sources and strong oxidizing agents to prevent polymerization or other unwanted reactions.
