    Abstract: Preparation of (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin (I) comprises: (i) reacting (4R)-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethyl-cyclohexanone (II) with dichloromethyl lithium in an inert solvent at -120 to -40 degrees C and warming the reaction mixture to 20-60 degrees C; (ii) reacting the obtained (4R,6R)-1-formyl-2,2,6-trimethyl-7-oxa-bicyclo (2.2.1) heptane of formula (IV) (in isolated form or directly in the reaction mixture) with acetone or a dialkyl (2-oxo-propyl)-phosphonate; (iii) converting the obtained (4R,6R)-1-(3-oxo-but-1-en-1-yl)-2,2,6-trimethyl-7-oxa-bicyclo (2.2.1) heptane of formula (V) into (4R,6R)-1-(3-hydroxy-3-methylpenta-1,4-dienyl)-2,2,6-trimethyl-7-oxa-b icyclo (2.2.1) heptane (VI) by conventional vinylation (or ethynylation followed by partial hydrogenation); (iv) reacting (VI) with a triaryl phosphine (preferably PPh3) and a strong acid to give a mixture of a C15 triaryl phosphonium salt of formula (III) and the isomer of formula (III'); and (v) subjecting 2 moles of the mixture to a double Wittig olefin synthesis reaction with 2,7-dimethyl-octa-2,4,6-triene-1,8-dial (VIII) to give (I). Ar = aryl (preferably optionally substituted phenyl); and X = 1 equivalent of an anion of a strong acid (preferably Cl, Br or HSO4). The preparation of (I) by step (v) is claimed per se. Also claimed are (IV) and (V) and (III') in mixtures with (III).

    Abstract: Process for the preparation of 9-(Z)-retinoic acid from mother liquors from the industrial preparation of C15-triarylphosphonium salts of the formula I in which R to R are an aryl radical and X is halogen or (HSO4) , in an organic solvent, which is characterised in that A. the proportion of 9-(Z)-C15-triarylphosphonium salt in the C15-triarylphosphonium salt isolated from the mother liquor is enriched by treating it with isopropanol in the presence of heat, cooling and separating off the all-(E)-C15-triarylphosphonium salt which crystallises out, B. subjecting the C15-triarylphosphonium salt thus obtained to a Wittig reaction with an alkyl ss-formylcrotonate of the formula and C. hydrolysing the oily retinoic acid ester mixture thus obtained in a C3- to C9-alkanol, preferably in a propanol or butanol, and precipitating the 9-(Z)-retinoic acid obtained, if desired, in crystalline form by addition of methanol, all-(E)-retinoic acid and other retinoic acid isomers remaining in the alkanolic solution.
