The preparation of bicyclohex-1(4)-ene (1) via ring expansion of a cyclopropylcarbene or the dehalogenation of 1-bromo-4-chlorobicyclohexane is described.It is one of the most reactive of the alkenes which may be observed at room temperature.Its reactions, including dimerization and cycloaddition reactions, are described.The latter lead to convenient preparations of propellanes.The vibrational spectrum was examined via matrix isolation and ab initio MO calculations.
