General description

Decahydronaphthalene, mixture of cis + trans is a bicyclic organic compound that can be used as an industrial solvent. It can be prepared by the complete catalytic hydrogenation of naphthalene or tetralin.

Application

Decahydronaphthalene, mixture of cis+ trans can be used as a solvent in the:
  • Distannoxane-catalyzed synthesis of aliphatic polyesters via polycondensation.
  • Intramolecular carbonyl-ene cyclocondensation of oxygenated o-phenylallylbenzaldehydes to synthesize substituted naphthalenes.

Decalins bearing two axial -NHCONHAr substituents and an ester-linked alkyl side chain have been synthesized and studied as anion receptors and transporters. The design relates to steroid-based "cholapods" but is more compact and less intrinsically lipophilic. Transport rates depend on

An unprecedented and highly diastereoselective 6-endo-trig cyclization of 2-alkenyl-1,3-dithiolanes has been developed yielding trans-decalins, an important scaffold present in numerous di- and triterpenes. The novelty of this 6-endo-trig cyclization stands in the stepwise mechanism involving 2-alkenyl-1,3-dithiolane, acting as a novel

Despite the growing importance of fluorinated organic compounds in drug development, there are no direct protocols for the fluorination of aliphatic C-H bonds using conveniently handled fluoride salts. We have discovered that a manganese porphyrin complex catalyzes alkyl fluorination by

A modification of the CHARMM36 lipid force field (C36) for cholesterol, henceforth, called C36c, is reported. A fused ring compound, decalin, was used to model the steroid section of cholesterol. For decalin, C36 inaccurately predicts the heat of vaporization (~10
