Abstract
A novel synthesis of the allene moiety of carotenoids was achieved by the r egioselective ene reaction of the vinyl hydrogen rather than the allyl hydr ogen of the significantly twisted 1,3-dienes, (3R)-alkoxy-cis-beta -ionol d erivative, followed by selective allyl rearrangement. beta 2001 Elsevier Sc ience Ltd.
