The construction of the carotenoid skeleton by Pd-catalyzed Csp2?Csp2 cross-coupling reactions of symmetrical and non-symmetrical 1,10-bissilyldeca-1,3,5,7,9-pentaenes and the corresponding complementary alkenyl iodides has been developed. Reaction conditions for these bidirectional and orthogonal Hiyama–Denmark cross-coupling reactions of bisfunctionalized pentaenes are mild and the carotenoid products preserve the stereochemical information of the corresponding oligoene partners. The carotenoids synthesized in this manner include β,β-carotene and (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin (symmetrical) as well as 9-cis-β,β-carotene, 7,8-dihydro-β,β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin (non-symmetrical).

β-Carotene 1 and (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin 2 have been stereoselectively prepared in a highly convergent fashion by a 2-fold Stille cross-coupling reaction. The C12-pentaenylbis-stannane 8 is the central "lynchpin" that connects two units of the terminal C14-iodides 9 and 17 to afford 1 and 2, respectively.
Synthesis of biotinylated retinoids for cross-linking and isolation of retinol binding proteins

The synthesis of (3R)-3-[Boc-Lys(biotinyl)-O]-11-cis-retinol bromoacetate and 3-[Boc-Lys(biotinyl)-O]-all trans-retinol chloroacetate is described. These biotinylated retinoids are instrumental in labeling the retinol binding proteins (RBPs) via a nucleophilic displacement of the haloacetate by a residue in the binding site of the protein. The covalently linked biotin will allow for a facile isolation and purification of the protein on a streptavidin column thus rendering the protein ready for a tryptic digest followed by mass spectrometric analysis. The 11-cis retinoid was synthesized via metal reduction of an alkyne intermediate generated from a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction whereas the all-trans was synthesized via two consecutive HWE couplings.
Carotenoids and related polyenes. Part 5. Lewis acid-promoted stereoselective rearrangement of 5,6-epoxy carotenoid model compounds

, p. 2569 - 2581 (2007/10/03)
The novel acyclic tetrasubstituted olefinic end group and the cyclopentyl end group of carotenoids were obtained by Lewis acid-promoted stereoselective rearrangement of the epoxide end group of 5,6-epoxy carotenoids. The scope and limitation of this rearr
