20. Our effort to isolate β-chlorovinyl ketone intermediates from the reaction of trimethylsilyl acetylene was not successful. Previously, Juteau and coworkers at Merck Frost Canada reported the synthesis of 3-(triisopropylsilyl)-2-naphthols under similar reaction conditions using triisopropylsilyl acetylene; see: Juteau, H.; Gareau, Y.; Lachance, H.
