Abstract
Disclosed is a process for the conversion of conjugated epoxyalkenes to unsaturated alcohols wherein a conjugated epoxyalkene is catalytically hydrogenated in the presence of a sulfur-modified or sulfided nickel catalyst whereby the epoxide ring is hydrogenolyzed without concomitant hydrogenation of the olefinic unsaturation thereby producing allylic and/or homoallylic alcohols.
