The isomerization of optically-active propargyl alcohols to terminal acetylenes.
Abstract
The isomerization of optically-active secondary propargyl alcohols, RCHOHCC(CH2)nCH3, to terminal acetylenic alcohols, RCHOH(CH2)n+1 C=CH, by potassium 3-aminopropylamide (KAPA) proceeds without loss of configuration at the hydroxy center. © 1987.
