3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-octadeuterocyclohexadiene?
« on: October 25, 2010, 10:53:15 AM »
This molecule cannot exist because it is to saturated for it to have 2 Pi bonds, right?

3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-octadeuterocyclohexene does exist thought?

..Or am I wrong? 


On a lab my teacher asked us to list the possible products of the hydrogenation of 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-octadeuterocyclohexadiene.  I discussed that this molecule will not have any products because it doesn't exist.  My assumption was that it was a typo error and but I might be entirely wrong.  Anyone care to clarify?

I already handed in the lab so it is for pure curiousity.

Thanks.

Yes... The molecule cannot exist..But as you say, 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-octadeuterocyclohexene does exist
