Abstract
A direct conversion of activated primary alcohols into terminal alkynes through a sequential one-pot, two-step process involving oxidation with manganese dioxide and then treatment with the Bestmann-Ohira reagent proceeds efficiently under mild reaction conditions with a range of benzylic, heterocyclic and propargylic alcohols.
