N ‐Methyl‐ N ‐2‐propynyl‐1‐naphthalenecarboxamide, N ‐methyl‐ N ‐2‐propynyl‐1‐naphthaleneacetamide, and N ‐methyl‐ N ‐3‐butynyl‐1‐naphthalenecarboxamide undergo intramolecular Diels‐Alder reactions at 190°, 250°, and 270° to give lactams 1,6 , and 9 , respectively. The cyclization temperatures are higher by 80‐120° as compared to those of the corresponding anthracene derivatives. Elaboration of lactam 6 gave the trans ‐4a‐aryldecahydroisoquinoline derivative 7a which, as the (‐) isomer, was shown to have the same absolute stereochemistry as morphine.
