- Bidirectional Hiyama–Denmark Cross-Coupling Reactions of Bissilyldeca-1,3,5,7,9-pentaenes for the Synthesis of Symmetrical and Non-Symmetrical Carotenoids
-
The construction of the carotenoid skeleton by Pd-catalyzed Csp2?Csp2 cross-coupling reactions of symmetrical and non-symmetrical 1,10-bissilyldeca-1,3,5,7,9-pentaenes and the corresponding complementary alkenyl iodides has been developed. Reaction conditions for these bidirectional and orthogonal Hiyama–Denmark cross-coupling reactions of bisfunctionalized pentaenes are mild and the carotenoid products preserve the stereochemical information of the corresponding oligoene partners. The carotenoids synthesized in this manner include β,β-carotene and (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin (symmetrical) as well as 9-cis-β,β-carotene, 7,8-dihydro-β,β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin (non-symmetrical).
