Thirty tertiary propargylic carbinols have been prepared by condensing propargyl bromide with ketones. Some of them showed better hypnotic activity than 3-methylpentyn-3-01. The best compound of the series was 1-chloro-2-chloromethylpent-4-yn-2-01 which proved to be a very effective hypnotic with a favourable therapeutic index.

showcases an unprecedented Au(III)-catalyzed cascade cyclization of 2-(4-hydroxyalkynyl)benzoates to access benzannulated [5,5]-oxaspirolactones related to biologically active natural products. This reaction proceeds through an initial 5-endo-dig mode of hydroalkoxylation of the alkynol segment to give the oxocarbenium species (via cyclic enol-ether) followed by the addition of carboxylate onto the oxocarbenium
