Abstract

Abstract A method of isomerization of alkenyl-alkoxybenzenes which comprises contacting an alkenyl-alkoxybenzene of the formula: WHEREIN M IS AN INTEGER OF 1 TO 5, R is lower alkyl or, when m is two or more and at least two of R are adjacent, the adjacent two R may represent lower alkylene including methylene and R'' is an alkenyl group having a double bond at the position not conjugated with the benzene ring with a catalyst to give the corresponding alkenyl-alkoxybenzene wherein the double bond in the alkenyl group represented by R'' is migrated to the position conjugated with the benzene ring, the said catalyst being the one prepared by heating an alkali metal, an alkali metal hydroxide and alumina at a temperature higher than the melting point of the alkali metal.
