Abstract
In the course of a synthetic approach to the Gibberellic acid skeleton,1 we desired to introduce a propargyl group by alkylation of a properly substituted cyclohexanone. Direct alkylation with propargyl bromide proved to be unsuccessful in terms of synthetic utility. Therefore a study was undertaken to investigate the introduction of a propargyl group by alkylation of a ketone. The result of this study is the subject of this communication.
