Abstract

The invention comprises 1-[21,61,61-trimethyl cyclohexen - 11 - yl - 11] - 18 - [211,611,611 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 211 - yl - 111] - 3,7,12,16-tetramethyl - octadecaoctaene - (1,3,5,7,11,13, 15,17) - ine - 9, 9,10 - mono - cis - 1 - [21,61,61-trimethyl - cyclohexen - 11 - yl - 11] - 18 - [211, 611,611 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 211 - yl - 111] - 3,7,12,16 - tetramethyl - octadecanonaene - (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17), crystalline all-trans-DL-a -carotene and the preparation thereof by reacting 10 - [21,61,61 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 11 - yl - 11] - 4,8 - dimethyl - decatrien - 4,6,8 - in-1 - ol - 3 with 8 - [21,61,61 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 21 - yl - 11] - 2,6 - dimethyl - octatrien - 2,4,6 - ol - 1 - with a hydrocarbon magnesium halide or hydrocarbon-(alkali metal), hydrolysing the reaction product thereby produced, subjecting the 1-[216161-trimethyl-cyclohexen-11-yl -11] - 18 - [211,611,611 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 211 yl - 111] - 3,7,12,16 - tetramethyl - octadecahexaene - (2,4,6,12,14,16) - ine - 9 - diol - 8,11 to dehydration with the aid of an anionotropic dehydration agent so as to eliminate both the hydroxyl group and effect allyl rearrangement, hydrogenating the 1-[21,61,61-trimethyl-cyclohexen - 11 - yl - 11] - 18 - [211,611,611 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 211 - yl - 111] - 3,7,12,16 - tetramethyl - octadecaoctaen - (1,3,5,7,11,13,15,17) - ine formed with about one molar proportion of hydrogen in the presence of an inhibited hydrogenation catalyst and maintaining the resulting 9,10-mono-cis 1-[21,61,61-trimethyl-cyclohexen-11 - yl - 11] - 18 - [211,611,611 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 211 - yl - 111] - 3,7,12,16 - tetramethyloctadecanenaene - (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17) under isomerization conditions for a sufficient time to substantially convert same to all-trans-DL-a -carotene. The first addition step may be effected with alkyl magnesium bromide or chloride, or lithium methyl or lithium phenyl, the dehydration with p-toluenesulphonic acid and the hydrogenation in the presence of a leadpoisoned palladium catalyst. The fourth stage isomerization may be effected by iodine in an inert solvent, by heating or by irradiation. The starting compound 8-[21,61,61-trimethylcyclohexen - 21 - yl - 11] - 2,6 - dimethyl - octatrien-2,4,6-al-1 is obtained by reacting 4-[21,61,61-trimethyl - cyclohexen - 21 - yl - 11] - 2 - methyl - buten-2-al-1 with g -bromo tiglic acid ethyl ester, dehydrating the product to give 8-[21,61,61-trimethyl - cyclohexen - 21 - yl - 11] - 2,6 - dimethyloctatriene - 2,4,6 - oic - 1 acid ethyl ester, hydrogenating the latter to produce a carbinol group and oxidizing the carbinol group to give the required aldehyde and 10-[21,61,61-trimethyl cyclohexen - 11 - yl - 11] - 4,8 - dimethyl - decatriene - in - 1 - ol - 3 is obtained by reacting 8 - [21,61,61 - trimethyl - cyclohexen - 11 - yl - 11]-2,6 - dimethyl - octatriene - 2,4,6 - al - 1 with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal acetylide and hydrolysing the reaction product.
