title: A new and general one-pot synthesis of propargyl alcohols from esters.
abstract: Intermediates easily prepared by partial reduction of various esters with LDBBA as a reducing agent smoothly react with lithium acetylides to give propargyl alcohols, without isolation of partial reduction intermediates, in good yields (73-83%).
