Abstract

The ethynyl compound (I) named in the title and some of its derivatives have been catalytically reduced with lithium-ammonia and with sodium borohydride. A high degree of stereospecificity is observed in these reductions. The vinyl alcohol (V) was dehydrated to the diene (XV) which condensed readily with p-benzoquinone and maleic anhydride.
