A process is disclosed for the preparation of disubstituted acetylene derivatives having retinoic acid like biological activity, wherein 6-ethynyl-chroman, 6-ethynyl-thio chroman and 6-ethynyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives of the formula shown below are reacted in the presence of catalysts with halogenated phenyl or heteroaryl derivatives of the formula shown below to provide the disubstituted acetylenes. In the formulae the symbols have the following meanings. R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are hydrogen or lower alkyl groups (of 1-6 carbons) where R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be identical or different from one another) X is S, O or NR' where R' is hydrogen or lower alkyl, Z represents hydrogen, or a metal ion capable of forming a salt with the ethynyl moiety of the molecule, X' is a leaving group such as a halogen group, A is phenyl, or heteroaryl such as pyridinyl, thienyl, furyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, thiazolyl or oxazolyl, n is an integer between 0 to 5, and B is H, --COOH or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or amide thereof, --CH.sub.2 OH or an ether or ester derivative, or --CHO or an acetal derivative, or --COR.sub.1 or a ketal derivative where R.sub.1 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl or alkenyl group containing 1 to 5 carbons. ##STR1##
