N2  - The hydroxide ion catalysed decomposition of diacetone alcohol (CH3)2- C(OH)CH2COCH3 &#8594; 2CH3COCH3 has been investigated at 25° and I = 0.4M. The catalytic effect of ethylamine, diethylamine, benzylamine, and isopropylamine on the reaction has been studied. A possible mechanism for the amine catalysis involving a carbinolamine intermediate is considered.
