Two sets of epimers of the system 3-methyl-2-aryl-trans-decahydroquinolin-4-ols were synthesized by known methods and screened for antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The compound 3-methyl-2-p-chlorophenyl-trans-decahydroquinolin-4-ol exhibited antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and antibacterial activity against Styphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris.
