A method used for synthesizing intermediates for use in the synthesis of carotenoids and carotenoid analogs, and/or carotenoid derivatives. In some embodiments, the invention includes methods for synthesizing optically active intermediates useful for the synthesis of optically active carotenoids. Synthesis of optically active carotenoids, in one embodiment, may be accomplished by forming an optically active dihydroxy ketone intermediate from ketoisopherone. The optically active dihydroxy ketone intermediate may be converted into optically active astaxanthin derivatives.
一种用于合成类胡萝卜素和类胡萝卜素类似物以及/或类胡萝卜素衍生物中间体的方法。在某些实施例中,该发明包括用于合成对合成光学活性类胡萝卜素有用的光学活性中间体的方法。在一个实施例中,可以通过从酮异榧酚形成光学活性二羟基酮中间体来实现光学活性类胡萝卜素的合成。光学活性二羟基酮中间体可以转化为光学活性虾青素衍生物。
