The present invention relates generally to novel methods for the preparation of cyclopropylacetylene which is an essential reagent in the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one; a useful human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase inhibitor with superior antiretroviral activity. In the process, for example, cyclopropane carboxaldehyde is alkylated to form 1,1,1-trichloro-2-cyclopropyl-ethanol; which in turn undergoes elimination to form 1,1-dichloro-2-cyclopropyl-ethene; which in turn undergoes elimination to form cyclopropyl acetylene.
