The disclosure is of an improved process for the hydrohalogenation of myrcene in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises carrying out the hydrohalogenation at a temperature below 25.degree. C. in the presence of an organic amine.

Hydrohalogenation of myrcene in the presence of organic amines

A method for the isomerization of linalyl halides is disclosed, improved by the presence of an organic quaternary salt. The improved method of the invention requires less energy for completion of the isomerization and shortens the isomerization times.

Isomerization of linalyl halides with quaternary salts

The disclosure is of an improved process for the hydrohalogenation of a conjugated diene in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises carrying out the hydrohalogenation in the presence of an organic quaternary salt.

Hydrohalogenation of myrcene

The disclosure is of an improved process for the hydrohalogenation of myrcene in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises carrying out the hydrohalogenation in the presence of an alcohol.

Hydrohalogenation of myrcene in the presence of alcohols

A method for the isomerization of linalyl halides is disclosed, improved by the presence of an alcohol. The improved method of the invention requires less energy for completion of the isomerization and shortens the isomerization times.
