In the last decades chemists have put a lot of effort into developing methods which are used to synthetize different products, some of which are carbonyl compounds from allylic alcohols. Typical conversions from allylic alcohols are also semipinacol rearrangement, isomerisation and allylic amination. At the beginning of the thesis I focus on semipinacol rearrangement of allylic alcohols. Their development has advanced in the last two decades, therefore a great progress has been achieved in the field of tandem reactions, transformations in the presence of electrophiles, radical processes and catalytic enantioselective transformations. Isomerisation of allylic alcohols has also been widely researched and presents a transformation of allylic alcohols into aldehydes and ketones which are basic compounds in laboratories and industry, therefore I present isomerisation catalysed with different complexes. At the end of the thesis I put an emphasis on amination of allylic alcohols since allylic amines are all-present in different biological compounds.
