✦ Synopsis
Synthesis and Chirality of (5__R__, 6__R__)‐5,6‐Dihydro‐β, ψ‐carotene‐5,6‐diol, (5__R__, 6__R__, 6′R)‐5,6‐Dihydro‐β, ε‐carotene‐5,6‐diol, (5__S__, 6__R__)‐5,6‐Epoxy‐5,6‐dihydro‐β,ψ‐carotene and (5__S__, 6__R__, 6′R)‐5,6‐Epoxy‐5,6‐dihydro‐β,ε‐carotene
Wittig‐condensation of optically active azafrinal (1) with the phosphoranes 3 and 6 derived from all‐(E)‐ψ‐ionol (2) and (+)‐(R)‐α‐ionol (5) leads to the crystalline and optically active carotenoid diols 4 and 7, respectively. The latter behave much more like carotene hydrocarbons despite the presence of two hydroxylfunctions. Conversion to the optically active epoxides 8 and 9, respectively, is smoothly achieved by reaction with the sulfurane reagent of Martin [3]. These syntheses establish the absolute configurations of the title compounds since that of azafrin is known [2].
