Preparation and deamination of cyclohex-1-enyl- and cyclohexa-1,4-dienyl-methylamine

Abstract

The rearranged alcohol from the deamination of cyclohex-1-enylmethylamine is 2-methylenecyclohexanol, the product of an allylic rearrangement, and not the ring-expanded alcohol previously reported. An analogous reaction has been shown to take place with cyclohexa-1,4-dienylmethylamine.
