Abstract

9-Ethynyl-9-fluoreno1, diphenylethynylcarbinol and phenylmethylethynylcarbinol have been hydrated to the expected methyl ketones. Some hydroxyl group reactions of the ethynylcarbinols and of the a-ketols obtained by hydration have been studied also. In none of these reactions has rearrangement of the carbon skeleton been observed. The ethynylcarbinols underwent the Meyer-Schuster rearrangement and thus produced ...
