O-(tert-Butyldiphenylsily1)-cis-5-methyl-4-hepten-6-yn-1-ol, an intermediate in the synthesis of taxol, was efficiently synthesized from 3-methyl-2-penten-4-yn-1-ol by sequential alcohol/bromide interchange [NBS, PPh_(3), CH_(2)Cl_(2), -30℃, 82%], displacement with the lithium salt of tert-butylacetate [LDA, THF, -78 to 23℃, 84%], LAH reduction, and silylation [tBuPhSiCl, imidazole, CH_(2)Cl_(2), 45℃, 88%].
