1,4-diens are composed out of unconjugated 1,4-dien system in which two unsaturated double bonds of alken are separated with one sp3 hybridised carbon atom. The 1,4-diens have a wide spectrum of usage, mostly in the medical field. Besides that they occur in nature in many substances such as alkaloids, terpens, fatty acids and polyketals. In this thesis 1,4-diens were synthesised from allyl bromide and terminal alkynes according to the procedure described by Knochel and Normant in the literature.
