2, 2, 5, 7, 8-Pentamethyl-6-chromanylamine-15N was prepared by condensation of ZnCl2- catalyzed condensation of 2, 3, 5-trimethylphenol with isoprene, followed by conversion of the resulting chroman into the 6-nitro-derivative and further reduction to the title compound, which possesses a 2-methyl group instead of the isoprenoid side chain of tocopherols and tocopheramines. Tocopheramines and their short-chain analogues are current targets in ...
