The reactivities of the two γ,δ-acetylenic epoxides 1 and 2 in the presence of LiNEt2 have been studied.In a non-polar medium (ether-hexane) 1 leads essentially to a cyclopropane alcohol (γ-elimination).In a polar medium (HMPA) the only product is an allylic alcohol, formed by β-elimination following migration of the triple bond.Epoxide 2 exhibits the reactivity generally associated with γ,δ-unsaturated epoxides, viz. γ-elimination in polar medium and β-elimination in non polar medium (2).The ease with the propargylic part of 1 is metallated may explain this difference in behaviour.
