The first total synthesis of optically active fucoxanthin 1 and halocynthiaxanthin 2 had been accomplished via the 8-oxo compound 5, efficiently prepared by rearrangement of the α-acetylenic alcohol 10 using oxo-metallic catalyst and subsequent iodine-catalysed double-bond shift.

, p. 4309 - 4315 (2007/10/02)
New marine carotenoids, halocynthiaxanthin (4) and mytiloxanthinone (5), were isolated from the sea squirt, Halocynthia roretzi ("Maboya" in Japanese).The structures of 4 and 5 were established to be (3S,5R,6S,3'R)-5,6-epoxy-3,3'-dihydroxy-7',8'-didehydro
