%X The regioselectivity of hydrocyanation of a range of protected &#945;- and &#946;-hydroxyalkynes has been investigated and shown to be highly susceptible to steric effects. Some of the products from hydrocyanation of protected &#946;-hydroxyalkynes have been converted into &#945;-alkylidene &#947;- lactones.
