Popis: 9-Cis- and all-trans-13-demethyl-11,14-epoxyretinyl acetate were prepared via a Wittig coupling between β-ionylidenetriphenylphosphonium bromide (1) and 5-(acetoxymethyl)furfural. Saponification of these acetates, subsequent oxidation and HPLC separation afforded pure 9-cis-and all-trans-13-demethyl-11,14-epoxyretinal. 11-Cis- and all-trans-9-demethyl-, 13-demethyl- and 9,13-bisdemethyl-retinal were prepared via the same scheme, based on the Pommer vitamin A acetate synthesis. Their photochemistry shows the same type of solvent dependence as retinal. HPLC separation of the photostationary mixtures of these retinals yielded the all-trans, 13-, 11-, 9- and 7-cis isomers in 98% purity.
