Synthesis of 2,3-Disubstituted 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthyls and Related Structures via Diels-Alder Reaction
6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthyl analogues have been synthesized via vinylation of cyclic ketones, subsequent lactonisation and thermally induced, inverse electron demand hetero Diels-Alderreaction. The diversity of the obtained products derives from the multiplicity of cyclic ketones and from the variety of dienophiles of the Diels-Alderreaction.
