(±)-3,4,4a-5,6,7-Hexahydro-4a-methyl-7,7-diphenyl-1(2H)-naphthalenone

The title compound was prepared in 48% overall yield using a seven-step sequence. The synthesis involves stepwise construction of a 3-formyl-3,3-diphenylpropyl side chain from the double bond of 3-ethenyl-3-methylcyclohexanone followed by aldol ring closure. The approach represents a general strategy for the synthesis of a number of (±)-7,7-diaryl-3,4,4a,5,6,7-hexahydro-1-1(2H)-naphthalenones.
