Method for the isomerization of reactive allyl alcohols (starting materials) of the formula (I) to provide allyl alcohols as a product of the general formula (II) (See formula) where R 1 to R 5 means hydrogen or a C 1 alkyl residue -C12 mono- or poly-unsaturated or saturated which can be optionally substituted, in both directions of equilibrium, characterized in that the reaction takes place in the presence of a dioxotungsten (VI) complex of the general formula (III), (See formula ) where L 1, L 2 each independently of each other means a ligand selected from the group of amino alcohols, of the aminophenols or mixtures thereof, m, n means the number 1 or 2. |
