Abstract

The catalytic isomerization of allylic alcohols by the 1, 3-transposition of a hydroxy group is an important reaction in organic synthesis.[1, 2] This isomerization has been applied to the industrial production of terpene alcohols, such as geraniol and nerol from linalool. In early studies, the isomerization of allylic alcohols was accomplished by using metal-oxo catalysts, such as trialkyl vanadates [3] and tungsten-oxo complexes,[4] operating at high ...
