- Abstract
The main pigments of Brevibacterium linens are the aromatic carotenoids 3,3'-dihydroxyisorenieratene (ϕ,ϕ-carotene-3,3'-diol), the corresponding monohydroxy compound, and the hydrocarbon isorenieratene. We report herein new syntheses of isorenieratene (ϕ,ϕ-carotene) and its xanthophyll analogue, 3,3'-dimethoxy-ϕ,ϕ-carotene, which may be considered a protected form of the natural xanthophyll, 3,3'-dihydroxy-ϕ,ϕ-carotene.
