Novel condensation reactions used to produce 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Such a compound is an important precursor in the manufacture of high performance plastics, as one example, are provided. In the past, the production methods for such 1,3-cyclohexadiene required very complex reactions involving numerous process steps. Such a method has proven costly, difficult to properly monitor and control, and less than reliable to provide even low amounts of such a precursor compound. The inventive production methods thus permit a reduction in complexity and cost, and, with a single reaction step, facilitate quality measurements as to the product purity itself.
