Abstract The products isolated from the H OFMANN degradation of trans and cis 1, 6-bis- trimethylammonio-cyclodecane (1a) depend on the reaction temperature. When carried out below 100 or when W ITTIG'S low-temperature modification, ie with KNH 2 in liquid ammonia, is employed, cyclodeca-l, 5-and-1, 6-dienes are formed almost exclusively, as shown by their hydrogenation to cyclodecane. When heated above 70 cyclodeca-l, 5- ...
