Abstract

A process for catalytically isomerizing Z-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol to E-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol is provided. This process includes contacting a stereoisomeric mixture containing Z-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol and E-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol with a source of bromine radicals in a two-phase reaction mixture having an aqueous phase and a stereoisomeric mixture phase, intermixing the reaction mixture, and heating the reaction mixture to a temperature from about −10° C. to about 100° C.
