Relevant academic research and scientific papers

First total synthesis of mytiloxanthin

The first total synthesis of mytiloxanthin 2 was accomplished via the cyclopentyl ketone 7 prepared by stereoselective rearrangement of the epoxide 4a.

Carotenoids and related polyenes. Part 8. Total synthesis of optically active mytiloxanthin applying the stereoselective rearrangement of tetrasubstituted epoxide

Biomimetic synthesis of mytiloxanthin 1 was accomplished with stereoselective rearrangement of the tetrasubstituted epoxide 5 as a key reaction. This is the first total synthesis of optically active all-E mytiloxanthin 1.
