Stereochemical studies. VIII. Further studies of stereochemical effects on the course of oxidation of α-acyloctahydronaphthalenones

Abstract

trans-Fused octahydroindene-1- and -2-carboxylic acids are formed stereoselectively on oxidation of α-acyl derivatives of trans-fused octahydronaphthalen-1(2H)- and -2(1H)-ones by hydrogen peroxide.
