Abstract
Highly selective isomerization of allyloxyalcohols either to 1-propenyl derivatives or to cyclic acetals of propanal depending on the transition metal (Ru, Rh) complex used is described together with a proposed explanation of an alternative reaction, which permits broad application of the described method.

Standard Procedure of Isomerization: Allyloxyalcohol (scale 2-5 g), solvent (if applicable) and the catalyst (amount given in Table
[1]
) were put into a glass screw-capped ampoule, purged with argon (for ca. 1 min), tightly capped and heated in an oil bath for given period of time (Table
[1]
). Afterwards, solvent (if applicable) was evaporated using a rotary evaporator. The products were separated by distillation (760-0.1 mmHg; 1b, 2b, 1c-4c, 9b, 10b) or column chromatography (silica gel, 200-400 mesh, benzene-hexane 1:5; 3b-6b, 5c, 6c). (E)- and (Z)-4-(1-Propenyloxy)-1-pentanols (

{[RuCl2 (COD)]x} (10 mg, 0.04 mmol) and tri(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenylphosphine) (19 mg, 0.04 mmol) were heated at 100 °C in THF (2 mL) for 3 h, then 2-allyloxy-ethanol 1a (0.77 g, 7.6 mmol) was added and heated at 80 °C for 3 h. Then, solvent was removed and the crude turned out to get the mixture of cyclic product 1c and (E)-2-(1-pro-penyloxy)ether 1b - NMR analysis.
