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.

Naphthalene diimide (NDI) bolaamphiphilic molecules (1) self-assemble in water to form organic nanoparticles, which exhibit self-assembly induced preassociated excimer formation and hence an enhanced green fluorescence.

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
