1,3-Cyclohexadiene is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)2(CH)4. It is a colorless, flammable liquid. Its refractive index is 1.475 (20 °C, D). A naturally occurring derivative of 1,3-cyclohexadiene is terpinene, a component of pine oil.

Cyclohexadiene is prepared by the dehydrobromination of 1,2-dibromocyclohexane:

1,3-Cyclohexadiene can also be prepared by the electrocyclic reaction from 1,3,5-hexatriene either or at temperatures above 110 °C.

Useful reactions of this diene are cycloadditions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction.

1,3-Cyclohexadiene could in principle be used as a hydrogen donor in transfer hydrogenation, since its conversion to benzene + hydrogen is exothermic by about 25 kJ/mol (gas phase).

Compared with its isomer 1,4-cyclohexadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene is about 8.5 kJ/mol more stable.
