%X Formylation of trans-decahydronaphthalen-1-one gives a 'hydroxymethylene derivative' which is, in reality, a complex mixture of stereoisomeric and tautomeric structures; stereochemical integrity at the ring junction is lost during the reaction. The same 'derivative' is obtained on formylation of the isomeric cis-ketone.
