A New Synthesis of α-Tocopherol

α-Tocopherol (vitamin E,1) has been synthesized in racemic form following a new strategy in which the aromatic ring of the chroman is constructed by addition of the dianion of 2,4-pentanedione to 1,2-epoxy-2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (5) as a side-ch

Synthesis of Vitamin E

A synthesis of Vitamin E has the condensation of 2,4-pentanediene and 1,2-epoxy-2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane including intermediates in this synthesis which uses base catalyzed condensations of aliphatic compounds to construct the Vitamin E molecule f
