Abstract

Lithium acetylides react cleanly with propylene glycol cyclic sulfate to give, after acidic hydrolysis, homopropargylic alcohols in good yield. The benzyl and TBDPS protecting groups are stable to these conditions, but the THP, TBS, acetal and orthoester groups are not. The readily available (S)-cyclic sulfate gives the (S)-alcohol without loss of stereochemical integrity.
