Abstract
A series of α-tetralones, with different degree of substitution, was submitted to the Birch reduction-alkylation procedure using various alkylating agents, to produce angularly substituted 1,4-unsaturated decalones. The stereoselectivity behavior of such dienones upon reduction is also described.
