1. The cyclohexadienyl anion is formed when 1,3-cyclohexadiene (I) and 1,4-cyclohexadiene (II) are reacted with sodium amide in liquid ammonia, which under the experimental conditions is converted to a mixture of benzene and cyclohexane. 2. The isomerization of dienes (I) and (II) into each other under the influence of potassium tertbutylate in tert-butanol, or potassium tert-amylate in tert-amyl alcohol, leads to mixtures of the mentioned dienes, which are not thermodynamic equilibrium mixtures. 1974 Consultants Bureau.
