Abstract

Inexpensive retinyl acetate has been subjected to transesterification followed by allylic oxidation to give retinal in 98% yield as a 92:8 mixture of all-trans/13-cis isomers after chromatographic separation. More convenient methods of isolating the all-trans isomer have also been employed.

Key words

retinyl acetate - retinal - transesterification - allylic oxidation - isomerization
