TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF PROLYCOPENE
Pattenden, Gerald,Robson, David C.
, p. 5751 - 5754 (1987)
A total synthesis of the tetra-Z-isomer (1, 'prolycopene') of lycopene found in fruits of the Tangerine tomato Lycopersicon esculentum, based on: (i) elaboration of the 2Z,6E-carbinol (4) from Pd-coupling reaction between the vinyl bromide (2) and the Z-e
Total synthesis of prolycopene, a novel 7,9,7′,9′-tetra-cis(Z) carotenoid and main pigment of the tangerine tomato Lycopersicon esculentum

A total synthesis of the 7,9,7′,9′-tetra-cis(Z) isomer of lycopene, also known as 'prolycopene', produced as the major carotenoid pigment in fruits of the tangerine tomato Lycopersicon esculentum ('Tangella') is described. The synthesis is based on: (i) a

Eight (Z)-isomers of lycopene were prepared by stereocontrolled syntheses and fully characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass, and UV/VIS-spectroscopy: (5Z)-, (7Z)-, (15Z)-, (5Z,5'Z)-, (7Z,7'Z)-, (7Z,9Z)-, (9Z,9'Z)-, and (7Z,9Z,7'Z,9'Z)-lycopene.Six additional (Z)-isomers, namely (9Z)-, (13Z)-, (5Z,9'Z)-, (9Z,13'Z)-, (5Z,9Z,5'Z)-, and (5Z,13Z,5'Z)-lycopene, were isolated in small quantities from isomer mixtures by semiprep.HPLC and were identified by 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
