On heating with trichloroacetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid, 2,4-dimethoxyphenethyl methylsulfinylmethyl ketone (1) cyclized to 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylthio-6-oxo-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydronaphthalene (2) through an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of a sulfonium ion intermediate (20b), while a β -ketosulfoxide having naphthalene nucleus (3) cyclized to a tetrahydrophenanthrene 4 via a Pummerer rearrangement product 23. Treatment of 1 with p-toluenesulfonic acid gave a mixture of 2,3,6-trisubstituted naphthalenes (7-10), whose composition was dependent on the reaction conditions. The aromatization proceeded via 2.

A series of 2-substituted octahydrobenzoquinolines has been synthesized and assayed for dopamine agonist activity.Only the compounds corresponding to the β-rotameric conformation of dopamine showed biphasic activity in competition binding studies with the radioligand spiroperidol.These findings suggest that the congeners possessing the β-rotamer conformation show receptor-binding characteristics that resemble those of the ergolines more closely than do those of the corresponding α-rotamer congeners.
