β¦ Synopsis
A novel marine natural product, (+)-aureol (1), was efficiently synthesized starting from the cis-fused decalin derivative 4. The synthetic method features boron trifluoride etherate-promoted rearrangement/cyclization reaction of (+)-arenarol (2) to form (+)-aureol (1) with complete stereoselectivity in high yield. (+)-Arenarol (2) was prepared in an alternative and more efficient manner employing salcomine oxidation protocol.

Tosylamino)alkyl]naphthalenols have efficiently been synthesized by nucleophilic addition of naphthalen-2-ol with N-tosyl imines (derived from both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes) in the presence of BF 3 β’ OEt 2 as a catalyst at room temperature. The products are formed within 5 -9 h in high yield
