Highly practical and enantiospecific method for the synthesis of optically pure propargylic alcohols [(S)-1-alkyn-3-ols] 1a-d from (-)-2-deoxy-D-ribose is described. The key reaction is the base-induced deprotonation-elimination reaction of 1-chloro-2,3-isopropylidenedioxyalkanes 4a-d and 8 with lithium diisopropylamide.
