Samarium diiodide promotes smooth reductive cyclizations of gamma-naphthyl-substituted ketones to afford tri- and tetracyclic compounds in high yields and with excellent stereoselectivities. Cyclic ketones furnish steroid-like compounds with "unnatural" cis/cis annulation of rings B/C/D. The remaining styrene-type double bond of ring B allows further stereoselective reactions. Cases with matched and mismatched relative configuration could be identified leading to dramatic differences in the ring closure ability.
