Alkylation of the distal double bond of geranyl acetate 8 with isoprene epoxide 5 has been carried out under anhydrous ZnCl2/nitromethane conditions to give a mixture of C15 hydroxyprenylated compounds. The major diol acetate isomer 12 was dehydrated to the expected γ-cis synthon 17 which was converted into racemic sarcinaxanthin 3 in few steps through the corresponding sulfone 21.
