Abstract
In the synthesis of 3-methyl-2,3-epoxypent-4-yne by the action of powdered caustic potash on 4-chloro-3-methylpent-1-yn-3-ol, a mixture of cis and trans oxides is formed with predominance of the isomer to which, on the basis of the PMR spectroscopy of saturated and acetylenic α-oxides, the cis configuration of the methyl groups has been ascribed.
