The invention describes a process for making astacene of formula 1, the exocyclic double bonds thereof having either an E configuration or an E- and/or Z-configuration, wherein astaxanthin of the general formula 2 having asymmetric centers 3 and 3′, each of which respectively having an (S)- or (R)-conformation and the exocyclic double bonds of said astaxanthin 2 having either an E- or E- and/or Z configuration, is oxidized in the presence of at least one tertiary alcoholate.
本发明描述了一种制造式 1 的
虾青素(其外环双键具有 E 构型或 E- 和/或 Z- 构型)的工艺,其中通式 2 的
虾青素具有不对称中心 3 和 3′,其中每个不对称中心分别具有 (S)- 或 (R)- 构型,并且所述
虾青素 2 的外环双键具有 E- 或 E- 和/或 Z- 构型,在至少一种叔醇酸酯存在下进行氧化。
