Cyclobutene is a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon with the empirical formula C 4 H 6 . It consists of a four-membered ring containing a double bond and forms the basic structure of the cyclobutenes.
presentation
Cyclobutene can be prepared by elimination from 1,2-dibromocyclobutane with zinc powder .
Since cyclobutene is volatile, it is usually converted into the higher-boiling 1,2-dibromocyclobutane for storage, from which it can be released again through the above reaction.
Dry distillation of cyclobutyltrimethylammonium hydroxide gives cyclobutene through Hofmann elimination :
Cyclobutene can also be obtained by photochemical cyclization of 1,3-butadiene .
However, this method only works with poor yield.
use
Addition reactions can be carried out on the double bond . A number of derivatives of cyclobutane are accessible in this way. [2 + 2] cycloadditions with other alkenes are also possible. Acid-catalyzed and thermal rearrangement reactions of cyclobutene and cyclobutene derivatives have been reported.
