A method of simultaneous one-stage synthesis of three retinal derivatives (5,6-dioxo-5,6-seco-, 5,6-dihydro-5,6-epoxy-, and 4-oxoretinal) was proposed, with the yield of the first derivative being ~50%. These compounds are useful tools for studying the an

Treatment of all-trans-retinal with one and two equivalents of NBS in a mixture of CH3CN-CH2Cl2-H2O provide 4-hydroxyretinal and 4-oxoretinal, respectively, in good yields.

The title compound (C20H26O2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 14.761(2), b = 8.292(1), c = 15.210(2) Angstroem, β = 102.40(1) deg, Z = 4.The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R-value of 0.038 for 1211 observed reflections.The crystal structure is isomorphous with that of all-trans-retinal.The cyclohexenone ring shows a half-boat conformation.The connection of the cyclohexenone ring and the conjugated polyene chain via a formal single C-C bond is s-cis.The torsion angle C(5)-C(6)-C(7)-C(8) amounts to 56 deg.For the polyene side chain the typical curvature is evident.A comparison with analogous compounds shows that details in conformation, especially at the ring side-chain connection, are induced by crystal matrix.It seems that the differences in biological activity between retinal analogous compounds are not reflected by conformational differences of the free molecules. - Key words: X-ray, Retinal, Conformation
