Preparations of Some Tetrahydronaphthalenone and Dihydroindanone Derivatives of Potential Value as Intermediates for the Synthesis of Steroids and Related Compounds

Abstract
The difficulties which in the past have precluded the preparation of some synthetically potentially useful ethylenedioxy-tetrahydronaphthalenone and -dihydroindanone derivatives have been overcome. The proclivity of the tetrahydronaphthalenone compounds to undergo acid- and base-catalyzed rearrangements has been shown to be paralleled to some extent by the analogous dihydroindanone compounds.
