Thus, it can be concluded that the major isomers 3a–z have this kind of the relative configuration. In Figure 3, the aryl group and the carbonyl group of the oxindole scaffold also exist on trans

The protection of the cis-2,3-vicinal hydroxy groups of 12 with an isopropylidene, followed by benzoylation, gave compound 13. Using 2

Further, it was protected by 2,2-dimethoxypropane to give the 1,3-oxathiolane derivative 21. The benzoylated compound 22 was obtained by

- two separate publications [36][37]. The cyclized product thus formed was further treated with iodine to get trans-2,5-bis(iodomethyl)-p-dioxane (4a). The formation of trans-isomer 4a as the major product and cis-isomer 4b as a minor product was later confirmed by Summerbell et al. by repeating the
- ratio of diastereomeric products [39]. Later, Summerbell and co-workers modified the reaction conditions to synthesize 2,6-disubstituted dioxane derivatives 6 (cis/trans 16:1). Unlike 2,5-disubstituted dioxane derivatives, here the cis-isomer was the major product. A higher ratio of the cis-dioxane 6
- the selective formation of diastereomeric products. They also observed that changes in Hg(II) salts result in different ratios of the cis- and trans-isomer in the cyclized products [47]. The differences in cis and trans ratios were primarily due to the basicity of anions associated with Hg(II) salts

We suspect that this second addition favors the trans product over the cis rather than the para ring influencing the approach of the proton

The use of Et2AlCl as the Lewis acid gave tetralin 14aa in a slightly improved 55% yield (Table 1, entry 2
- substoichiometric amounts afforded significantly decreased yields of 14aa (Table 1, entries 7 and 8). The relative cis- and trans-configuration of the C-2 hydroxy group and the C-4 aryl substituent (Figure 2) were assigned on the basis of 1H-1H COSY analysis. Firstly, the HSQC analysis was used to determine H3. The
- 13C NMR chemical shift for C2 is expected to be in the range of 60 to 70 ppm and the assignment of H3 was based on the HSQC correlation between H3 and C2. Then, H1 and H2 could be assigned by COSY and HSQC experiments. Following that, NOE analysis was applied to analyze the relative cis- and trans
