Abstract

Abstract Highly selective isomerization of allyloxyalcohols either to 1-propenyl derivatives or to cyclic acetals of propanal depending on the transition metal (Ru, Rh) complex used is described together with a proposed explanation of an alternative reaction, which permits broad application of the described method.
