prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). While the totalsynthesis of 1 has been previously reported in a poor overall yield, the totalsynthesis of the other seven stereoisomers of lutein has not yet been accomplished. We have developed a relatively straightforward methodology for the totalsynthesis of 1 and three of itsstereoisomers, (3R,3′S,6′S)-lutein (2), (3R,3′S,6′R)-lutein or 3′-epilutein
