A new stereoselective synthesis of the C40-bis-acetylenic carotenoids all-trans-(3R,3′R)-alloxanthin and all-trans-3,4,7,8,3′,4′,7′,8′-octadehydro-β,β-carotene, both compounds featuring a stereochemically labile C7-C10 enyne, based on a bi-directional Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction of a C15-phosphonate and a central C10-dialdehyde, is reported. The triene unit of the latter fragment was synthesized using the acyclic metathesis/dimerization reaction.

The all-trans, 9-cis, and 9,9'-di-cis forms of (3RS,3'RS)-alloxanthin have been synthesized, also the 9-cis-isomer of (3RS,6'RS)-crocoxanthin.Perhydrogenation of alloxanthin gives a product with the same optical properties as perhydrozeaxanthin.These resu
