Abstract
The preparation of carotenoid thiones has been investigated, beta,beta -Caroten-4-thione. 4'-thioxo-beta,beta-caroten-4-one and 4'.5'-didehyd ro-4,5'-retro-beta,beta-caroten-3-one were synthesized from echinenone , canthaxanthin and rhodoxanthin respectively. Characteristic spectros copic properties of the polyene thiones are discussed and potential ap plications are outlined.
