Abstract

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