✦ Synopsis
A novel mechanism for the formation of 5,6-tocopheryldione (~t-tocored, 4) from c~-tocopherol (vitamin E, l) has been established. The reaction has been shown to proceed via a 5-alkoxytocopherol intermediate, with cleavage of the 5a-methyl group as methanol, contrary to results reported so far in the literature.
