Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of isorenieratene, a natural carotenoid isolated from the marine sponge Reniera japonica and from some anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria or nonphotosynthetic actinomycetes, was performed from α-, β-and retro-ionones. In this series of cyclohexenes, this synthesis is the first to include a one-pot aromatization of the cyclic end group with concomitant regioselective migration of one methyl group from the gem ...
