Citranaxanthin and its analogues were synthesised via a C5 unit elongation to substituted conjugated polyenes. Their free radical scavenging activity was measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazinyl spectrophotometric methods. Results indicated that the new compounds exhibited antioxidant activities. Three new analogues had stronger antioxidant activity than citranaxanthin.
Preparation of cyclic acetals of 3-formyl-2-butenyltriphenylphosphonium chloride

An improved process for preparing cyclic acetals of 3-formyl-2-butenyltriphenylphosphonium chloride by acetalization of 3-formyl-2-butenyl acetate with an aliphatic 1,3-diol, conversion of the resulting 4-acetoxy acetal into the corresponding 4-hydroxy acetal, Vilsmeier chlorination to give the corresponding 4-chloro acetal and subsequent reaction with triphenylphosphine entails carrying out the first 3 steps in an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons with 6-8 carbons and the reaction with triphenylphosphine in an alkanol with 1-3 carbons and/or in aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon with 6-8 carbons or a corresponding mixture of hydrocarbons. The process is particularly advantageous when conversion of the 4-acetoxy acetal into the 4-hydroxy acetal is carried out with an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution in the presence of phase-transfer catalysts, and the first three, or all four, reaction stages are carried out in the same C6 -C8 -hydrocarbon.
