A process for isomerizing 3-methoxy-1,7-octadiene comprising contacting 3-methoxy-1,7-octadiene with methanol and a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of cupric chloride and a mixture of cupric chloride and palladium chloride at a temperature in the range of between about 115° C. and 135° C. and a pressure in the range of between about 75 psig and about 125 psig whereby 8-methoxy-1,6-octadiene is formed.
