Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for isomerizing reactant allyl alcohols to product allyl alcohols in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the reactant allyl alcohol is rearranged to product allyl alcohol in semicontinuous or continuous mode in a catalyst-containing suitable reactor. In particular, the process according to the invention is used to prepare linalool from Geraniol and/or nerol.
