Abstract

A method is described for converting ethoxyethynylcarbinols I into α‐ketols V, via the intermediate products II to IV inclusive. The synthesis occurs stereospecifically and, starting from the ethoxy‐ethynylcarbinol VII, derived from 3β‐acetoxyandrost‐5‐en‐17‐one VI, affords almost exclusively 3β,21‐dihydroxypregn‐5‐en‐20‐one XI in about 50% yield.

## Abstract The isomeric allenyl thioethers, III, are produced in good yield by treating 1‐ethylthio‐1‐alkynes, I, with an equivalent amount of sodamide in liquid ammonia, followed by hydrolysis of the reaction mixture. The corresponding allenyl thioethers alkylated in the 1‐position, IV, are obta
