Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of oxo-vinyl-ionol and O-protected derivatives thereof of formula (I), wherein R stands for hydrogen or an OH protecting group, for example a group Si(Ra)3, by reacting a compound of general formula (II), wherein R has the meanings previously specified for formula (I), i.e. beta-vinyl-ionol (formula (II), R = hydrogen) or an O-protected derivative thereof (formula (II), R = OH protecting group), with an oxidant in the presence of at least one transition metal, wherein the oxidant comprises at least one compound containing oxygen, which compound is selected from among hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for production of optically active (4S)-4-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-ene-1-one derivatives of formula (I) and a method for production of (3S, 3'S)-astaxanthine of formula (III) including the above method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of solutions of astaxanthin derivatives in edible oils and to solutions of astaxanthin derivatives in an edible oil that can be obtained by said method. The inventive method comprises: i) provision of a suspension of an astaxanthin derivative in an edible oil, the particles of the astaxanthin derivative in the suspension having an average volumetric particle diameter, determined by Fraunhofer diffraction, ranging between 0.5 and 50 µm, and ii) the suspension of the astaxanthin derivative is worked into an edible oil to produce a solution of the astaxanthin derivative of formula (I), at least 70 % by weight of said astaxanthin derivative being composed of a compound of formula (I). In said formula, R represents a group of formula (II), # represents the bond with the carbonyl group, A stands for linear or branched C1-C6alkene or for -CH=CH- and Rx stands for C1-C10 alkyl.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the preparation of oxovinylionol and its O-protected derivatives of the formula I (I) in which R is hydrogen or an OH protecting group, for example a group Si(Ra)3 by reacting a compound of the formula II (II) in which R have the meanings given above for formula I, i.e. ?-vinyl ionol (formula II, R = hydrogen) or an O-protected derivative thereof (formula II, R = OH protecting group) with an oxidant in the presence of at least one transition metal, where the oxidant comprises at least one oxygen-containing compound which is selected from among hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides.
