## A systematic study led to a method for the preparation of (Z/-4-(trimethyZsilyZ)-3-buten-2-oZ lz) in at least 99% purity by the reduction of the alkyne 4-CtrimethyZsiZyZl-3-butyn-Z-02 Cl\_! with lithium aluminium hydride BLAH) as a cZear solvate in ether.

✦ Synopsis
The selective reduction of 3,4-dicarbomethoxyquinoline by lithium aluminium hydride at low temperature affords only the unexpected 3-formyl 4-carbomethoxy quinoline. The difficulty of reduction of the usually more reactive 4-ester group can be explained by a steric hindrance by the H5 peri proton on one side and by the 3-ester group on the other side.
