In order to use the hydroxysulfonamide (1) for the C 5 ‐homologation of isoprenoids it was necessary to regioselectively reduce allylsulfonamides such as (2) . If classical methods are used for this purpose a ca. 1:9 mixture of nerol (3) and isogeraniol (4) is formed; in contrast, (2) reacts with Na/NH 3 in the presence of dibenzo‐[18]crown‐6 to give almost exclusively (3) .
