Ethynyl alcohol precursors to methylene lactones

Abstract
trans-2-Ethynyl substituted alcohols can be obtained by treatment of epoxides with ether-stabilised methyl ethynyl alanes; a cis analogue, obtained by oxidation and stereoselective reduction, has been converted into the corresponding cis ring-fused methylene lactone.
