1,4-Cyclohexadiene, 97% stab. with 0.1% BHT
Description
1,4-Cyclohexadiene is used to study the formation of parent ion from heavy fragmentation on irradiation with a high-intensity laser pulse. It is also used as a very effective hydrogen donor for catalytic hydrogenation reaction. It forms benzene at elevated temperatures in the presence of a ruthenium(II)-triphenylphosphine catalyst.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
