Production

It is produced by 1,3-butadiene dimerizes in a Diels-Alder reaction.[5][4] The reaction is conducted at 110 - 425 °C at pressures of 1.3 - 100 MPa in the presence of a catalyst. A mixture of silicon carbide and salts of copper or chromium comprises the catalyst. A competing product is 1,5-cyclooctadiene.

Safety

4-Vinylcyclohexene is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen by the IARC ("possibly carcinogenic to humans").[2]

gollark: I assume they mostly meant the pope, but yeeees.
gollark: Well, belief in an omnipotent god and such? That's pretty orthogonal to "good citizenship rule[s]".
gollark: No, they're defined as people who follow Catholicism. Mostly you would call them Catholic because of having Catholic-ish beliefs.
gollark: THAT'S what it stands for? Huh.
gollark: This has diverged very much from me saying that memes which spread well don't necessarily have to benefit the people spreading them.
