Question

Is `"1,3-butadiene"` unused in the chemical laboratory?

Answer 1

Not to my knowledge.

Explanation:

`"1,3-butadiene"` `=` `H_2C=CH-CH=CH_2`, is a volatile gas, whose normal boiling point of `-4.4` `""^@C` means that it can be used in the lab fairly easily. It is used industrially in the synthesis of man-made rubbers.
