TLDR
In this article, the concepts of short synthesis, high selectivity and reduce effluent for industrial processes in the field of vitamin A and E synthesis were illustrated, and four reactions were selected to demonstrate how organometallic chemistry can improve industrial synthesis.
Abstract
This paper illustrates the concepts of short synthesis, high selectivity and reduce effluent for industrial processes in the field of vitamin A and E synthesis. We have selected four reactions to demonstrate how organometallic chemistry can improve industrial synthesis : isomerisation of methylbutynol 1 to prenal 2 ; Carbon - Carbon coupling and new access to geranylacetone ; Hydrogenation of a p-unsaturated aldehydes ; Oxidation and access to trimethylhydroquinone.
