Cycloheptatriene

Description:

Cycloheptatriene is a cyclic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C7H8, characterized by a seven-membered carbon ring containing three double bonds. This compound is an example of a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon and is known for its unique structure, which allows for a degree of flexibility and reactivity. Cycloheptatriene is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive aromatic odor. It is less stable than its more saturated counterparts due to the presence of multiple double bonds, making it more reactive in various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic addition. The compound can undergo polymerization and is often used as a building block in organic synthesis. Cycloheptatriene's reactivity is influenced by its ability to participate in Diels-Alder reactions, making it valuable in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Additionally, it has applications in the study of reaction mechanisms and the development of new materials. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks upon exposure.

1,3,5-Cycloheptatriene

CAS: 544-25-2

Cycloheptatriene is a reactive molecule that is used in the synthesis of steroidal alkaloids. Cycloheptatriene is capable of forming a 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene adduct with benzyl groups. The reaction proceeds via an electrophilic addition to the C-C bond of the allyl carbonate followed by a protonation step. The product can be isolated as a crystalline solid and characterized using x-ray diffraction. Cycloheptatriene has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis, which may be due to its ability to bind to ribosomes and act as an electron sink, releasing protons. This can cause a conformational change in the ribosome that prevents it from interacting with other molecules on the ribosome or translating mRNA into proteins.
