Abstract

The em-methylenecyclohexadieneamine obtained from the rearrangement of the 2, 4, 6- trimethylbenzyltrimethylam-rnonium ion by means of sodium amide in liquid ammonia was converted to another em-methyleneamine by further treatment of its methiodide with this reagent. Like the former em-methyleneamine, the latter alicyclic product underwent thermal isomerization to a 6-arylethylamine, and an acid-induced decomposition to form an ...
