'''Piperylene''' or '''1,3-pentadiene''' is an organic compound with the formula {{chem2|CH3\sCH\dCH\sCH\dCH2}}. It is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon. It is one of the five positional isomers of pentadiene. It is one of several industrially significant 1,3-dienes, but it has received much less attention than butadiene and isoprene.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schmidt |first1=Roland |last2=Griesbaum |first2=Karl |last3=Behr |first3=Arno |last4=Biedenkapp |first4=Dieter |last5=Voges |first5=Heinz-Werner |last6=Garbe |first6=Dorothea |last7=Paetz |first7=Christian |last8=Collin |first8=Gerd |last9=Mayer |first9=Dieter |last10=Höke |first10=Hartmut |title=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry |chapter=Hydrocarbons |date=2014 |pages=1–74 |doi=10.1002/14356007.a13_227.pub3 |isbn=978-3-527-30673-2 }}</ref> It consists of two isomers, Z and E, but these are rarely distiguighed.

==Synthesis and formation== The dominant route to piperylene is by steam cracking of naphtha]]. This makes up about 10% of the C5 stream.<ref name=Herrmann>{{cite journal |last1=Herrmann |first1=Norman |last2=Vogelsang |first2=Dennis |last3=Behr |first3=Arno |last4=Seidensticker |first4=Thomas |title=Homogeneously Catalyzed 1,3-Diene Functionalization – A Success Story from Laboratory to Miniplant Scale |journal=ChemCatChem |date=2018 |volume=10 |issue=23 |pages=5342–5365 |doi=10.1002/cctc.201801362}}</ref>

===Other routes=== Piperylene is a product of the decarboxylation of sorbic acid.<ref name=Ullmann>{{cite encyclopedia|author=Erich Lück, Martin Jager, Nico Raczek|title=Sorbic Acid|encyclopedia=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry|publisher=Wiley-VCH|location=Weinheim|year=2000|doi=10.1002/14356007.a24_507|isbn=3527306730 }}</ref>

Piperylene is obtained as a byproduct of ethylene production from crude oil, combustion of biomass, waste incineration and exhaust gases. It is used as a monomer in the manufacturing of plastics, adhesives and resins.<ref>[http://www.shell.com/home/content/chemicals/products_services/our_products/lower_olefins/piperylene/product_overview/piperylene_overview.html Piperylene] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090513042134/http://www.shell.com/home/content/chemicals/products_services/our_products/lower_olefins/piperylene/product_overview/piperylene_overview.html |date=2009-05-13 }} at Shell Chemicals.

==Reactions== Piperylene behaves as a typical diene. It forms a sulfolene upon treatment with sulfur dioxide.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.15227/orgsyn.029.0059|title=Isoprene Cyclic Sulfone |journal=Organic Syntheses |year=1949 |volume=29 |page=59|author=Robert L.

It undergoes hydrocyanation.<ref name=Herrmann/>

Piperylene can be deprotonated using butyl lithium, providing lithium pentadienyl.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Seyferth |first1=Dietmar |last2=Pornet |first2=Jacques |title=(2,4-Pentadienyl)trimethylsilane: A useful pentadienylation reagent |journal=The Journal of Organic Chemistry |date=1980 |volume=45 |issue=9 |pages=1721–1722 |doi=10.1021/jo01297a053}}</ref>
