'''''trans''-Cyclooctene''' is a [[cyclic compound|cyclic]] [[hydrocarbon]] with the formula [–(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub>CH=CH–], where the two C–C single bonds adjacent to the double bond are on opposite sides of the latter's plane. It is a colorless liquid with a disagreeable odor.

A planar arrangement of the ring carbons would be too strained, and therefore the stable [[conformational isomer|conformations]] of the ''trans'' form have a bent (non-planar) ring.

''cis''-Cyclooctene (COE) is a substrate notoriously known for quite selectively forming the epoxide, as compared to other cycloalkenes, e.g. cyclohexene. Low amounts of radical by-products are found only. The reason for this behaviour is that allylic functionalization in ''cis''-cyclooctene is more difficult than for other cycloalkenes, because of almost orthogonal allylic C-H bonds. Therefore, if radicals are around, they rather form epoxide (via an addition-elimination mechanism) than to form allylic byproducts.<ref name="cis" /> It is used as an easily displaced [[ligand]] in [[organometallic chemistry]], e.g. [[chlorobis(cyclooctene)rhodium dimer]] and [[chlorobis(cyclooctene)iridium dimer]].


==Preparation==
==''trans''-Cyclooctene==
''trans''-Cyclooctene was first synthesized on a preparatory scale by [[Arthur C. Cope]] with a [[Hofmann elimination]] reaction of ''N,N,N''-trimethylcyclooctylammonium iodide.<ref name=cope1969>{{OrgSynth |first1= Arthur C. |last1= Cope |author1-link= Arthur C.

''trans''-Cyclooctene is the smallest cycloalkene in which the ''trans''-isomer is stable at room temperature. This is because ''trans''-cycloalkenes have a longer bridging distance between the two [[allylic|allylic carbons]] than their respective ''cis''-cycloalkenes. Eight carbons is the minimum ring size required to join them when they are ''trans'' without causing severe structural strain. The smaller rings of ''trans''-[[Cycloheptene]] and ''trans''-[[cyclohexene]] can exist, but they are very unstable at room temperature. ''trans''-Cyclooctene exists in a helical conformation with the carbon chain lying above the double bond on one side and below it on the other, leading to [[chirality]] (as depicted to the right). This type of chirality is defined as [[planar chirality#In chemistry|planar chirality]]. There are two [[enantiomer]]ic forms, [[atropisomer]]s resulting from restricted rotation about a single bond.<ref>{{GoldBookRef |file= P04681 |title= Planar chirality}}</ref>


Other methods exist where the ''trans'' isomer is synthesized from the ''cis'' isomer in several synthetic steps. For instance, it can be prepared in almost 100% yield by converting the ''cis'' isomer to [[1,2-epoxycyclooctane]] ("cyclooctene oxide") followed by reactions with [[lithium diphenylphosphide]] ({{chem|LiPPh|2}}) and with [[methyl iodide]] {{chem|CH|3|I}}.

trans-Cyclooctene is a cyclic hydrocarbon with the formula [–(CH2)6CH=CH–], where the two C–C single bonds adjacent to the double bond are on opposite sides of the latter's plane. It is a colorless liquid with a disagreeable odor.

Cyclooctene is notable as the smallest cycloalkene that is readily isolated as its trans-isomer. The cis-isomer is much more stable;[3] the ring-strain energies being 16.7 and 7.4 kcal/mol, respectively.[4]

cis-Cyclooctene

(Rp)-trans-Cyclooctene
in crown conformation

A planar arrangement of the ring carbons would be too strained, and therefore the stable conformations of the trans form have a bent (non-planar) ring. Computations indicate that the most stable "crown" conformation has the carbon atoms alternately above and below the plane of the ring.[5] A "half-chair" conformation, with about 6 kcal/mol higher energy, has carbons 2,3,5,6, and 8 on the same side of the plane of carbons 1,4, and 7.[5]

All conformations of trans-cyclooctene are chiral (specifically, what some call planar-chiral[6]) and the enantiomers can be separated.[7][8][9] In theory, conversion of between the enantiomers can be done, without breaking any bonds, by twisting the whole –CH=CH– group, rigidly, by 180 degrees. However, that entails passing one of its hydrogens through the crowded ring.[7]

Preparation

[edit]

trans-Cyclooctene was first synthesized on a preparatory scale by Arthur C. Cope with a Hofmann elimination reaction of N,N,N-trimethylcyclooctylammonium iodide.[10] The reaction gives a mixture of cis and trans isomers, and the trans isomer is selectively trapped as a complex with silver nitrate.

Other methods exist where the trans isomer is synthesized from the cis isomer in several synthetic steps. For instance, it can be prepared in almost 100% yield by converting the cis isomer to 1,2-epoxycyclooctane ("cyclooctene oxide") followed by reactions with lithium diphenylphosphide (LiPPh
2
) and with methyl iodide CH
3
I
. (Similar procedures can give cis,trans isomers of 1,4-cyclooctadiene and 1,5-cyclooctadiene).[2]

In addition, a photochemical method exists for the direct cistrans isomerisation. Although this equilibrium strongly favours the more stable cis form, the reaction can be driven towards the trans form by trapping with silver ions.[11][12]

Reactions

[edit]

Because of the higher internal strain on the double bond, the trans isomer is more reactive than the cis isomer and of typical unsaturated hydrocarbons. For instance, its double bond will rapidly add tetrazine and its derivatives.[5] The compound also readily polymerizes with a ruthenium-based initiator.[4]
