Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(95)01885-L

The LAH reduction of alkyl or aryl substituted propargyl alcohols and 3-butyn-1-ols in diethyl ether and THF have been studied.The unexpected reduction product resulting from the hydride addition to δ-carbon with cis configuration was formed from 4-aryl substituted 3-butyn-1-ols.
