A convenient synthesis of variously substituted octahydroindolo[7a,1a]-isoquinolinones has been achieved by an acid-induced cyclization of hexahydroindolinones bearing tethered phenethyl groups. The formation of a single lactam diastereomer is the result of the stereoelectronic preference for axial...
