✦ Synopsis
2,6-Cyclolycopene-l,5-diol (3) was synthesized in 9 steps starting from ¢t-terpinyl acetate (11). This represents the first total synthesis of an oxidative metabolite of lycopene (2). The synthesis was performed according to a C~.s + C~o + Cm5 = C40 strategy using the Wittig olefination to couple the end groups to the central building block. An intramolecular aldol addition was used to introduce two new stereocenters with a defined relative stereochemistry.
