The first total synthesis of peridinin 1 and pyrrhoxanthin 2 has been accomplished via the reaction of the C15-epoxy formyl ester 21 with the C22-allenic sulfone 28 or the C22-acetylenic sulfone 39.A synthesis of the optically active peridinin has also be

Starting from the readily available, optically active (4R)-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone (1), a new technical synthesis of (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin is described.According to a 2(C9 + C6) + C10= C40 construction scheme, the ketone 1 was first transformed with (E)-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol (5) into a C15-intermediate which, by a three-step sequence, could be converted into the known olefinic C15-Wittig salt 4.Optimized conditions for the final Wittig reaction of 4 with the C10-dialdehyde 3 are discussed.Based on 1, the overall yield of the entire technical process is ca. 40percent.

The all-trans, 9-cis, and 9,9'-di-cis forms of (3RS,3'RS)-alloxanthin have been synthesized, also the 9-cis-isomer of (3RS,6'RS)-crocoxanthin.Perhydrogenation of alloxanthin gives a product with the same optical properties as perhydrozeaxanthin.These resu
