Reaction Steps

590 mg (2.03 mmol) of (1S,4aS,8aR)-5-[(R)-5-Hydroxy-1,5-dimethyl-hex-3-ynyl]-4a-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,7,8,8a-octahydro-naphthalen-1-ol was dissolved in 10 ml of abs. CH2Cl2 and oxidized with 1.91 g (5.08 mmol) of pyridinium dichromate during 2 h at ambient temperature. Filtration over Celite, evaporation to dryness, and flash chromatography (SiO2, Hexane/AcOEt=7/3) produced 446 mg of the title compound as colorless oil.
