The stereoselective synthesis of C<sub>40</sub>-all-<i>trans</i>-carotenoids with the formal hexahydrobenzofuran skeletons aurochrome, auroxanthin, and equinenone-5',8'-epoxide is reported. The synthesis is based on a one-pot or stepwise double Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction of a terminal enantiopure C<sub>15</sub>-5,6-epoxycyclohexadienylphosphonate and a central C<sub>10</sub>-trienedial. The ring expansion of the epoxycyclohexadienylphosphonate, generated by a Stille cross-coupling re ...[more]
