The 2, 4, 6-triisopropylbenzyltrimethylammonium ion was rearranged by sodium amide in liquid ammonia to form an exo-methylenecyclohexadieneamine that was rearranged thermally to a P-arylethylamine. The exo-methyleneamine was decomposed by acid to form an aromatic hydrocarbon and an aromatic amine, the relative yields of these products depending upon the strength of the acid. The methiodide of the exo-methyleneamine and ...
