1,3-Butadienal, also called vinylketene, is an organic compound and the simplest vinylketene. Like other vinylketenes, it occurs primarily as a reactive intermediate in cycloaddition reactions.

Preparation

As a vinylketene not protected by steric effects, 1,3-butadienal is typically prepared in situ. Dehydrohalogenation of vinyl acyl chlorides produces vinylketene:[1]

H2C=CH−CH2−COCl → H2C=CH−CH=C=O + HCl

The molecule was first properly observed in pyrolysis of the ynol ether ethoxybutenyne, a retro-ene reaction:

H2C=CH−C≡C−O−C2H5 → H2C=CH−CH=C=O + C2H4

An analogous decomposition of ethoxyethyne yields ethenone.[2] The compound also occurs from the radical addition of the allyl and COCl radicals, a potential side reaction in the production of allyl radicals from propene and oxalyl chloride.[3] As a reaction intermediate, it is produced from electrocyclic ring-opening of cyclobutenone.[4]
