Abstract
The reaction of estr‐4–en‐17‐one‐16‐^2^H~2~ and 11α‐hydroxy‐estr‐4‐en‐17‐one‐16‐^2^H~2~ with potassium t‐butoxide and acetylene in tetrahydrofuran gave the 17α‐ethynyl‐17β‐ols with nearly complete loss of the label. Ethynylation with ethynyl magnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran, however, proceeded with retention of the label. Application of the latter method to estrenone‐16‐^3^H (specific activity 14.0 Ci/mmol) gave lynestrenol‐16‐^3^H with a specific activity of 13.3 Ci/mmol.

The preparation of the title compound, a selective 5-HT, antagonist with anti-emetic properties, is described. The key intermediate involved is 6-bromo-1,2-dihydronaphthoic acid (s), which was synthesized from 4-bromophenylacetic acid by Micheal addition, acid-induced ring cyclization, reduction and
