A process for hydrolysing allylethers of the general formula: R6CH=CR5-CR4-O-CR1R2R3 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, which may be the same or different, represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or one of R1, R2 or R3 and R6 together represent a covalent bond, with water in the presence of a supported Group VIII metal catalyst. Methyl sec-butenyl ether can be hydrolysed in high yield to methyl ethyl ketone. |
