Figure 5. The reduction of complex ketones and one-step epimerization of complex alcohols.

Figure 5

a, Reduction of complex ketones with isopropanol enables site-selective epimerization within polyol natural products. b, Site-selective epimerization of complex polyols is achieved in one step with Ru-2 as the catalyst in the absence of an acceptor. S.M., starting material. NMM; N-methylmorpholine.
