Treatment of 5-(2-arylethyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroisoquinolines with 48percent HBr resulted in isomerisation of the double bond and subsequent cyclisation at position 6 of the octahydroisoquinoline ring system to give (+/-)--9-halogeno-2-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,10b,11,12,12a-dodecahydronaphtho2,1-f>isoquinolines.The products obtained represent novel analogues of aza-D-homoestranes.No reaction was observed with the corresponding 5,5-disubstituted octahydroisoquinolines.An X-ray crystallographic study of compound 10 (X = Br) is described.
