The epoxidation of a series of cholesteryl esters by air in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium tetramesitylporphyrin complex is described. The preparative procedure, which requires only 4 to 5 mol % of the catalyst, leads to high conversion (76 to 94 %) and very high β-stereoselectivity (> 99 %). Similar results are obtained in the epoxidation of 3β-acetoxyandrost-5-ene-17-one, 3β-acetoxypregn-5-ene-20-one, and 3,3-ethylenedioxycholest-5-ene.
报道了在四甲基
卟啉钌络合物催化剂存在下,空气对一系列
胆固醇酯进行环氧化反应的研究。该制备方法仅需加入4至5摩尔%的催化剂,即可实现高转化率(76至94%)和极高β立体选择性(> 99%)。类似的结果也在3β-乙酰氧基
雄甾-5-烯-17-酮、3β-乙酰氧基孕甾-5-烯-20-酮和3,3-亚乙二氧基胆甾-5-烯的环氧化反应中获得。
