Then 20 g of Aliquat 336 (49 mmol) and 33 g (0.5 mol) of freshly cracked cyclopentadiene were added. The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously for a few minutes, then 172 g of cyclohexyl bromide (1.05 mol) were added. The reaction mixture was then cooled with circulating water at 10° C. After two hours of stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture was heated to 70° C., followed by a further 6 hours of stirring. GC was used to show that 79% of the mixture of mono-, di- and tri-(cyclohexyl)cyclopentadiene was disubstituted cyclopentadiene. The product was distilled at 0.04 mbar and 110-120° C. After distillation, 73.6 g of di(cyclohexyl)cyclopentadiene were obtained, which was characterized with GC, GC-MS, 13C- and 1H-NMR.
