The title compounds are prepared by a high yield, one-pot reaction using readily available chloroacetaldehyde dialkyl acetals as starting materials. The reaction is initiated by sodium amide and the intermediate acetylide anion thus produced, reacts readily with a variety of electrophiles such as alkyl halides, carbonyl compounds or water to produce the desired products.
