Cyclohexene is a hydrocarbon with the formula (CH

. It is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. Although it is one of the simplest cycloalkene, it has few applications.

Production and uses

Cyclohexene is produced by the partial hydrogenation of benzene, a process developed by the Asahi Chemical company.[3] The main product of the process is cyclohexane because cyclohexene is more easily hydrogenated than benzene.

In the laboratory, it can be prepared by dehydration of cyclohexanol.[4]

Reactions and uses

Benzene is converted to cyclohexylbenzene by acid-catalyzed alkylation with cyclohexene.[5] Cyclohexylbenzene is a precursor to both phenol and cyclohexanone.[6]

Hydration of cyclohexene gives cyclohexanol, which can be dehydrogenated to give cyclohexanone, a precursor to caprolactam.[7]

The oxidative cleavage of cyclohexene gives adipic acid. Hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidant in the presence of a tungsten catalyst.[8]

Bromination gives 1,2-dibromocyclohexane.[9]

Structure

Cyclohexene is most stable in a half-chair conformation,[10] unlike the preference for a chair form of cyclohexane. One basis for the cyclohexane conformational preference for a chair is that it allows each bond of the ring to adopt a staggered conformation. For cyclohexene, however, the alkene is planar, equivalent to an eclipsed conformation at that bond.
