Synthesis of (3S)- and (3R)-3-hydroxy-β-ionone and their transformation into (3S)- and (3R)-β- cryptoxanthin

(3S)- and (3R)-3-Hydroxy-β-ionone and (3S)- and (3R)-3-Hydroxy-β- ionone synthesized in high enantiomeric purity from commercially available () - ionone. These ionones were then transformed into (3R) - cryptoxanthin and (3S) - cryptoxanthin by a C15+C10+C15 Wittig coupling strategy according to known methods. This methodology can considerably simplify the total synthesis of optically active carotenoids with 3-hydroxy - end groups that possess significant biological activities.
