%X The unambiguous syntheses of eleven t-butyloctahydronaphthalenes are described. Those obtained in pure states are 2-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8- octahydronaphthalene (1), 7&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#945;,5,6,7- octahydronaphthalene (2), 2&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#945;,5,6,7- octahydronaphthalene (4), 2&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,-4a&#946;,5,6,7- octahydronaphthalene (5), 3&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,5,6,7- octahydronaphthalene (14), 7-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,5,6,8a&#946;- octahydronaphthalene (27), 6-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,5,8,8a&#946;-octahydronaph- thalene (28) and 2&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,5,6,8a&#946;-octahydronaphthalene (57). 7&#945;-t-Butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,-5,6,7-octahydronaphthalene (3) was obtained in a state of 95% purity while 6&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,-5,6,7- octahydronaphthalene (15) and 6&#945;-t-butyl-1,2,3,4,4a&#946;,5,6,8a&#946;-octahydronaphthalene (33) were obtained as inseparable mixtures with (14) and (28), respectively.
