Synthesis and chiroptical properties of (1R,1′R)-[16,16,16,16′,16′,16′-2H6]-β,β-carotene
Abstract
The title compound (3) has been prepared from dehydroabietic acid (1) in 21 steps and its low temperature c.d. spectra have been found to correspond to those for zeaxanthin (4) but with reduced intensities; possible interpretations of the observed c.d. spectrum are discussed.
