2,6,8a-cis-Decahydro-7-[(1-methyl-2-piperidinyl)methyl]-2,3,4a,6,8a-naphthalenepentol 2,3,4a,8a-tetraacetate ester
A solution of 20 g of trans-1,2,3,4,5,8-hexahydro-3-[1-methyl-2-piperidinyl)methyl]-2-naphthalenol (as prepared in Example 1) in 200 ml of pyridine is treated with 10 g of succinic anhydride. After standing for 1 day at 25.degree. C., the solvent is evaporated, toluene added and evaporated, to yield the succinate half ester. This is taken up in 140 ml of glacial acetic acid and 20 ml of acetic anhydride, cooled to 10.degree. C. in ice, and treated carefully with 7 ml of 70% perchloric acid. After stirring 15 minutes, the addition of 35 ml of 40% peracetic acid is carried out over 1/2 hour, at 15.degree. C. The temperature is allowed to come to 25.degree. C. for 1/2 hour, then the bath temperature is raised to 45.degree. C. for 1 hour. The mixture is then cooled to 5.degree. C. and diluted with 400 ml of benzene. The upper phase is discarded, and the treatment repeated twice with benzene and twice using ethyl ether. The resulting viscous oil is cooled to -15.degree. C. and dissolved cautiously in 70 ml of acetic anhydride. Another 1/2 ml of 70% perchloric is added, and after 1 day at -15.degree. C., another 70 ml of acetic anhydride. After two more days at -15.degree. C., the mixture is diluted with 2 l. of ethyl ether and the resulting dark gum dissolved in water and rendered basic with sodium bicarbonate. This solution is extracted quickly with ethyl acetate, then the aqueous is warmed at 60.degree.-80.degree. C. on a steam cone for 45 minutes. The resulting mixture is extracted with chloroform, dried using magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to 10 g of an oil.
Chromatography on neutral alumina, activity II, in ethyl acetate with increasing concentrations of methanol affords the desired product.
The above procedure may be employed to convert any of the dienes disclosed herein to the corresponding hydroxy tetraacetate.

Dihydro-3-(1,2-dihydro-2-naphthalenyl)-2,5-furandione is prepared by the method of Alder Ann. 595 38 (1955).
60 g of the above anhydride is added portionwise to a stirred 500 ml portion of aqueous methylamine. After addition is complete, the mixture is heated to boil off water and excess amine, ultimately to 210.degree.-220.degree. to complete the cyclization and form the title A compound.

After 5 hours at reflux, the mixture is decomposed with K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 solution and filtered. Evaporation of the organic layer leaves 42.8 g of 3-(1,2-dihydro-2-naphthalenyl)-1-methylpyrrolidine which is distilled at 125.degree.-150.degree./0.2 mm IR and NMR consistent, 28 g yield (54%).

The residual liquid is dissolved in water and rendered strongly basic with NaOH solution. The 3-(3,4-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthalenyl)-1-methyl pyrrolidine is extracted into CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, dried and freed of solvent.

Sodium ethoxide is prepared by adding 12.3 g (0.533 M) sodium portionwise to 600 ml absolute ethanol in a nitrogen atmosphere. After the sodium is gone, 85.5 g (0.533 M) of diethyl malonate is added dropwise over a period of 15 minutes during which time the mixture is heated to reflux.

Most of the ethanol is removed in vacuo, water is added and the mixture is extracted 4 times with ether. The combined ether extracts are washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried, and freed of solvent in vacuo leaving an orange oil. Ether is added and white crystalline material is deposited.
