Reaction Steps

1.22 g (4.17 mmol) of (1S,4aR,5R,8aR)-5-((R)-5-hydroxy-1,5-dimethyl-hex-3-ynyl)-4a-methyl-decahydro-naphthalen-1-ol was dissolved in 36 ml of abs. CH2Cl2 and oxidized with 4.72 g (12.51 mmol) of pyridinium dichromate during 2 h at ambient temperature. Filtration overCelite, evaporation to dryness, and flash chromatography (SiO2, Hexane/AcOEt=7/3) produced 860 mg of the title compound as colorless oil.
