Synthesis and conformational analysis of several cis-and (or) trans-2-amino-1, 2, 3, 4- tetrahydro-1-naphthalenols are described. Introduction of the nitrogen atom at the C (2) position of the starting tetralones 3 has been carried out through nitrosation followed by reduction of the intermediate hydroxyimino tetralone and (or) Neber rearrangement of the tosyloxy derivatives 7 ae. Stereoselective reduction of the C (1) carbonyl group of ...
