  2. Aromatization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatization

    The process, which is catalyzed by platinum supported by aluminium oxide, is exemplified in the conversion methylcyclohexane (a naphthene) into toluene (an aromatic). [2] Dehydrocyclization converts paraffins (acyclic hydrocarbons) into aromatics. [3] A related aromatization process includes dehydroisomerization of methylcyclopentane to benzene:

  3. Cyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentadiene

    Cyclopentadiene is a highly reactive diene in the Diels–Alder reaction because minimal distortion of the diene is required to achieve the envelope geometry of the transition state compared to other dienes. [11] Famously, cyclopentadiene dimerizes. The conversion occurs in hours at room temperature, but the monomer can be stored for days at ...

  4. Pentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentadiene

    trans-1,3-pentadiene, also known as piperylene. 1,4-pentadiene, H 2 C=CH−CH 2 −CH=CH 2. [4] 2,3-pentadiene, H 3 C−CH=C=CH−CH 3, with two enantiomers (R and S). [5] It and 1,2-pentadiene are the least common isomers of pentadiene. Well known derivatives containing pentadiene groups include hexadienes, cyclopentadiene, and especially ...

  5. Half sandwich compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_sandwich_compound

    In organometallic chemistry, (η 6-C 6 H 6) piano stool compounds are half-sandwich compounds with (η 6-C 6 H 6)ML 3 structure (M = Cr, Mo, W, Mn(I), Re(I) and L = typically CO). (η 6-C 6 H 6) piano stool complexes are stable 18-electron coordination compounds with a variety of chemical and material applications.

  6. Pentamethylcyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentamethylcyclopentadiene

    1,2,3,4,5-Pentamethylcyclopentadiene is a cyclic diene with the formula C 5 (CH 3) 5 H, often written C 5 Me 5 H, where Me is CH 3. [3] It is a colorless liquid. [1]1,2,3,4,5-Pentamethylcyclopentadiene is the precursor to the ligand 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, which is often denoted Cp* (C 5 Me 5) and read as "C P star", the "star" signifying the five methyl groups radiating from ...

  7. Sandmeyer reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandmeyer_reaction

    The Sandmeyer reaction provides a method through which one can perform unique transformations on benzene, such as halogenation, cyanation, trifluoromethylation, and hydroxylation. The reaction was discovered in 1884 by Swiss chemist Traugott Sandmeyer , when he attempted to synthesize phenylacetylene from benzenediazonium chloride and copper(I ...

  8. Dicyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicyclopentadiene

    The spontaneous dimerization of neat cyclopentadiene at room temperature to form dicyclopentadiene proceeds to around 50% conversion over 24 hours and yields the endo isomer in better than 99:1 ratio as the kinetically favored product (about 150:1 endo:exo at 80 °C). [6] However, prolonged heating results in isomerization to the exo isomer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulky_cyclopentadienyl_ligands

    Structure of (t Bu 3 C 5 H 2) 2 Fe 2 N 2. The (tert-butyl)cyclopentadiene is prepared by alkylation of cyclopentadiene with tert-butyl bromide in the presence of sodium hydride and dibenzo-18-crown-6. [1] The intermediate in this synthesis is di-tert-butylcyclopentadiene. This compound is conveniently prepared by alkylation of cyclobutadiene ...
