Procedure

To a suspension of freshly activated powdered 4A molecular sieves (1.2 g), celite (1.2 g), florisil (1.2 g), sodium acetate (500 mg) and pyridinium chlorochromate (1.2 g) in CH2Cl2 (25 mL) add betulin (500 mg). The mixture is to be stirred for 2 hrs, and then filtered through a short column of silica gel. The filtrate is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is then subjected to column chromatography to afford betulone aldehyde (370 mg) as white solid.
