Reactions of propargyl alcohols. V. Lithium aluminium hydride reduction of some C 1-epimeric 4-t-butyl-1-prop-1'-ynylcyclohexanols

Abstract

The preparation and lithium aluminium hydride reductions of C1-epimeric 4-t-butyl-1-prop-1'-ynyl- cyclohexanols (8) and (9), and their 2-methyl (10) and (11) and 2,6-dimethyl(12) and (13) derivatives are described. The effects of solvent and substrate structure on the reductions are discussed.
