Dicarotenoid esters of bivalent acids

For the evaluation of the synthesis of dendritic esters from carotenoids the C20 apocarotenoid retinol was chosen for model studies, being a commercially available hydroxy carotenoid. Dimers were synthesized from retinol with dicarboxyl cores and from retinol succinate with other hydroxy carotenoids.

Selective hydrogenation of carotenones II.? Reduction of rhodoxanthin to lutein and zeaxanthin, and of canthaxanthin to a dihydro-retro-carotenediol by tellurium hydride

Racemic lutein and racemic zeaxanthin have been prepared from rhodoxanthin by reduction with tellurium hydride. Similarly, canthaxanthin was transformed into a retro-carotenediol. Acta Chemica Scandinivica 1996.
