Summary:Alkylated dodecahydronaphtho[2,1-b]furans of the general formula I (I) where R1 and R2 are identical and each is hydrogen or methyl are prepared by reacting alkylated 2-hydroxydecahydronaphthalene-1-ethanol of the formula II (II) where R1 and R2 are as defined above, with a sulfonyl chloride in the presence of basic catalysts by performing the cyclization in the presence of concentrated aqueous alkali metal hydroxides and a phase transfer catalyst, preferably a tetra-substituted ammonium or phosphonium salt, the sulfonyl chloride used preferably comprising a sulfonyl chloride of the general formula III R3-SO2Cl where R3 is C1-C3-alkyl or phenyl which may be substituted in the para position by methyl, chlorine, bromine or nitro.
