Abstract
Alkadienes are produced by reacting alkenyltrialkylammonium halide in which the double bond is allylic or homoallylic relative to the nitrogen atom with a strong inorganic base under phase transfer conditions. In this reaction trialkylamine is eliminated from the quaternary ammonium halide thereby resulting in the concurrent formation of the alkadiene. Long chain (e.g., C.sub.6 -C.sub.20) conjugated alkadienes, can readily be prepared from the corresponding alkenes in good yields on an economical basis by a three-stage process involving:
