3-Methylbut-3-en-1-ol, also known as isoprenol, is a hemiterpene alcohol. It is produced industrially as an intermediate to 3-methylbut-2-en-1-ol (prenol): global production in 2001 can be estimated as 6–13 thousand tons.[3]

3-Methylbut-3-en-1-ol is produced by the reaction between 2-methylpropene (isobutene) and formaldehyde.

The reaction of isobutene with formaldehyde to give isoprenol, the first step in the industrial manufacture of prenol.


The thermodynamically preferred isomer with the more substituted double bond cannot be directly formed in this reaction, but isomerization yields the desired product:

The isomerization of isoprenol to prenol, the second step in the industrial manufacture of prenol.


The reaction is catalyzed by any species which can form an allyl complex without excessive hydrogenation, for example poisoned palladium catalysts.[4]
