Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to an improved process for preparing [(3aR,4S,7aS)-4- bromooctahydro-7a-methyl-1H-indene-1,5-dione]. (S)-(+)-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-7 a- methyl-1H-indene-1,5(6H)-dione is reduced by reaction with diisobutylaluminu m hydride and hexamethylphosphoric triaminde in the presence of a catalyst of the formula R-Cu, wherein R is (see formula I) and R1, R2 and R3 are each, independently, selected from the group consisting of C1-7 alkyl, phenyl, phenyl substituted by at least one C 1- 4 alkyl group, benzyl, or benzyl substituted by at least one C1-4 alkyl groups to form a reductate. The reductate is then treated with a bromine-containing electrophile to yield (3aR,4S,7aS)-4- bromooctahydro-7a-methyl-1H-indene-1,5-dione.
