Lipase-catalyzed resolution of p-menthan-3-ols monoterpenes: Preparation of the enantiomer-enriched forms of menthol, isopulegol, trans- and cis-piperitol, and cis-isopiperitenol

A study on the enzymic resolution of the most common p-menthan-3-ol monoterpene isomers is described. Enantioenriched alcohols 1, 5, 10, 11 and 12 are obtained by means of the lipase-mediated kinetic acetylation of the corresponding racemic materials. The stereochemical aspects of the enzymic process have been investigated. We found that the structural features of the starting p-menthan-3-ol as well as the kind of lipase used, impacted strongly on the enantioselectivity of the resolution. The potentialities of this approach for preparative purposes are discussed.
