Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein R 1 signifies a C 1 -C 15 alkyl moiety or a C 2 to C 18 alkenyl moiety, to their process of production as well as to their use in organic synthesis, especially as intermediates (building blocks) in the synthesis of vitamin A or β-carotene or derivatives thereof, or other carotenoids, e.g. canthaxanthin, astaxanthin or zeaxanthin, preferably vitamin A.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A compound of formula (I): wherein R 1 signifies a C 1 -C 15 alkyl moiety or a C 2 -C 18 is alkenyl moiety. 2. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is a linear C 1 -C 15 alkyl moiety. 3. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is methyl, ethyl or pentadecyl. 4. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is an unbranched C 2 -C 18 alkenyl moiety having more than three C-C double bonds. 5. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is a pure stereoisomeric form. 6. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is a mixture of stereoisomeric forms. 7. A process for production of a compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 , wherein the process comprises reducing, in the presence of 2-methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine and borane dimethyl sulphide, a compound of formula (II): wherein R 1 signifies a C 1 -C 15 alkyl moiety or a C 2 -C 18 alkenyl moiety.
