CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS

Condensation of 1-acetyl-1,2,2-trimethyl-4-trimethylsilyloxycyclopentane with methyl 12,12-ethylenedioxy-2,6,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4,6,8,10-pentaenoate, and removal of the protecting group, gave the b-diketone derivatives, which reacted with the C15-acetylenic Wittig salt to yield a cis-isomer of mytiloxanthin. Mytiloxanthin itself has not been synthesized. (Ref. 0051)
