    1,3-cylohexadiene i synthesized starting from cyclohexane in following 4 steps.

    1) Free Radical Substitution Rxn: Halogenation of cyclohexane in the presence of UV yield chlorocyclohexane.

    2) Elimination Rxn: Dehydrohalogenation of chlorocyclohexane yields cyclohexene.

    3) Halogenation of Cyclohexene (Electrophillic Addition Rxn) gives 1,2-dihalocyclohexane.

    4) Elemination Rxn: When dibromocyclohexane is treated with KOH and heated it gives 1,3-cyclohexadiene as shown below,
