The present invention provides an intermediate compound used for synthesis of polyene chain structure, that is an important moiety of carotenoid compounds, a process for preparing the same, and carotenoid polyene chain compounds prepared by using the intermediate, and, in particular, a process for preparing lycopene. The process for preparing the carotenoid polyene chain compound employs an allylic sulfone compound as starting material, which is reacted with C-5 sulfide compound to extend the carbon chain. The resultant thio-sulfone compound is oxidized, and the obtained disulfone compound is combined with C-10 di(haloallylic) sulfide compound to form a chain compound containing the desired number of carbon atoms. Then, the diallylic sulfone obtained by oxidation of the diallylic sulfide is subjected to Ramberg-Baklund reaction in order to form the central triene bond. After removal of sulfonyl groups, carotenoid polyene chain compound is obtained.
本发明提供了一种用于合成聚烯烃链结构的中间化合物,这是类胡萝卜素化合物中的重要部分,以及制备该中间化合物的方法,以及使用该中间体制备的类胡萝卜素聚烯烃链化合物,特别是制备番茄红素的方法。制备类胡萝卜素聚烯烃链化合物的方法采用烯丙基磺酮化合物作为起始原料,与C-5硫化合物反应以延伸碳链。产生的硫代磺酮化合物被氧化,获得的二磺酮化合物与C-10二(卤代烯丙基)磺酮化合物结合,形成含有所需碳原子数量的链化合物。然后,通过氧化二烯丙基硫醚得到的二烯丙基磺酮经过Ramberg-Baklund反应,形成中央三烯键。去除磺酰基后,得到类胡萝卜素聚烯烃链化合物。
