Popis: Alkyl aryl (hetaryl) ketones react with acetylene under atmospheric pressure in the superbasic system KOH-EtOH-H2O-DMSO at 10–15°C (2 h) to give the corresponding tertiary propargyl alcohols in up to 91% yield. The procedure requires no large excess of KOH and low-boiling inflammable solvents, produces few wastes, and is safe and convenient on the laboratory scale; there are no limitations for its large-scale application.
