摘要
Extension of secondary alcohol racemization catalyzed by homogeneous half-sandwich ruthenium complexes to the epimerization of natural products containing additional non-functionalized stereo-centers has been investigated. Ruthenium-catalysed epimerization of the sec-alcohols (-)-menthol, (-)-isopulegol, (+)-borneol, (+)-fenchol and cholesterol under mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loadings (2 mol%) provides rapid access to their less abundant diastereoisomers (+)-neomenthol, (+)-neoisopulegol, isoborneol, beta-fenchol and epicholesterol in admixture with the parent diastereomers in ratios ranging from 1:4.9 to 1:2.4 (epimer: parent).
