1,3-butadiene is the simplest conjugated diene and undergoes 1,4 addition reaction in acidic environment.

Chemical reaction: CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ + H₂O → CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH.

CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ - 1,3-butadiene.

CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH - 2-buten-1-ol.

Diene or diolefin is a hydrocarbon that has two carbon double bonds.
