Conjugated acetylenic ketones can be prepared in about 40% yield by oxidation of alkynes with chromium trioxide-pyridine complex ... 

A - -Steroid. Dauben and Fullerton chose the following route for conversion of A -androstenc-.3)S,17 -diol diacetate (1) into A - -androstadiene-3, 17 -diol diacetatc (4). The starting material was converted into the 7-ketonc (2) by oxidation with chromium trioxide-pyridine complex in methylene chloride (2, 74 75). The ketone OAc...

The above discussion has concentrated upon the reagents used, but it is equally of value to comment on the substrate, particularly in reactions for which other oxidation methods have been reported to fail. A good example is the oxidation of the iron-carbonyl complex (31) to the ketone (32 equation 14). The use of dimethyl sulfoxide activated with sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex gave a 70% yield of the product, in contrast to the use of the Pfitzner-Moffatt procedure (dimethyl sulfoxide-DCC) or the chromium... 

An attempted allylic oxidation of (68 equation 29) was found by Paquette to be difficult to achieve using a range of reagents due to problems with polymerization and rearrangement. The chromium trioxide-pyridine complex was the only reagent combination found to be successful, albeit in low yield.

Alternatively, treatment of the aporphine glaucine with a large excess of chromium trioxide-pyridine complex in dichloromethane led in a low yield to a mixture of dehydroglaucine, 1,2,9,10-tetramethoxy-oxoaporphine (6), corunnine (16), and pontevedrine (17) 51).
