18 - 116Stereoselective Synthesis of Highly Substituted and Oxygenated cis-Decalins. — Starting from commercially available catechol derivatives (I),an efficient and stereocontrolled route to highly oxygenated cis-decalins (VII)is described. Bicyclo[2.2.2]octenones such as (VIII) with a 2-silyloxy-1,5-dieneunit are employed as substrate for the Cope rearrangement for the fist time. —(HSU, P.-Y.; LEE, Y.-C.; LIAO, C.-C.; Tetrahedron Lett. 39 (1998) 7, 659-662;Dep.
