<p>Olefinically unsaturated secondary alcohols in which the carbon-carbon double bond and the alcohol functionality are separated only by methylene groups are isomerized to ketones by reacting a mixture composed of an olefinically unsaturated secondary alcohol and a catalyst effective amount of a substantially fully hydrogenated palladium catalyst at a temperature of from about 200°C to about 300°C and passing hydrogen through the reaction mixture until the iodine number of said reaction mixture is less than 10 and separating the catalyst from the ketone.</p> |
