Procedure

To a suspension of 1.720 g of 2,2'-bipyridinium chlorochromate and 0.860 g of anhydrous sodium acetate in 10 ml of methylene chloride, was added a solution of 0.500 g of [1R-[1β(R*,S*),3aα,4β,7aβ]]-octahydro-7a-methyl-1-[1-methyl-4-(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)butyl]-1H-inden-4-ol in 5 ml of methylene chloride and the mixture obtained stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Additional 0.800 g of 2,2'-bipyridinium chlorochromate was then added and the stirring continued for an additional 2.5 hours. After this time, 1 ml of 2-propanol was introduced and 15 minutes later, the mixture diluted with water and extracted with ether. The combined organic phases were dried, evaporated and the residue purified by fast filtration through silica (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate, 3:1) to give 0.446 g (90% yield) of pure [1R-(1R*,S*)-1β,3aα,7aβ]]-octahydro-7a-methyl-1-[1-methyl-4-(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-butyl]-4H-inden-4-one.
