Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00381a031

The two diastereomers of 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-2-naphthalenol (cis-1-OH and trans-1-OH) have been prepared and configurations have been established by correlation with the diastereomeric 9-methyldecalins (8).The correlations also establish configurations of the diastereomeric 3,4,4a,5,6,8a-hexahydro-8a-methylnaphthalenes (2).Configurations have also been established for the isomeric 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-2-methylnaphthalenes (3) by correlation with the corresponding 2-methyldecalins.
