Grewe cyclization of the N ‐formyl‐protected octahydroisoquinolin‐6‐one 1 prepared by conventional chemistry did not afford the expected homomorphinanone. The exclusive reaction product obtained in good yield was the α,β‐unsaturated N ‐formyloctahydroisoquinolin‐6‐one 2 , further converted by acid hydrolysis into the crystalline octahydroisoquinolin‐6‐one 8 .
