Synthesis

1,5-Hexadiene is produced commercially by the ethenolysis of 1,5-cyclooctadiene:[1]

(CH2CH=CHCH2)2 + 2 CH2=CH2 → 2 (CH2)2CH=CH2

The catalyst is derived from Re2O7 on alumina.

A laboratory-scale preparation involves reductive coupling of allyl chloride using magnesium:[2]

2 ClCH2CH=CH2 + Mg → (CH2)2(CH=CH2)2 + MgCl2
