Synthesis of an intermediate for (±)-platphyllide through thionyl chloride-pyridine mediated rearrangement

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086474

The cyclohexadienyl alcohol (3) on treatment with thionyl chloride and pyridine provided the tetrahydronaphthalene (4) whose transformation to the carbomethoxy tetralone (7), a key intermediate for platphyllide (8), has been accomplished in four steps.
