Atomfair Cyclopentadiene C5H6

Description Cyclopentadiene (CAS: 1284-72-6) is a highly reactive cyclic diene with the molecular formula C5H6. This colorless liquid is widely used in organic synthesis, particularly in Diels-Alder reactions, due to its conjugated double-bond system. Cyclopentadiene is known for its rapid dimerization at room temperature, forming dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), but can be regenerated through thermal cracking. It serves as a key precursor for metallocene catalysts, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Store under refrigeration or as a dimer to maintain stability. Purity levels ??95% ensure optimal performance in research and industrial applications.
