摘要

A new type of carotenoid has been synthesized with a 2H-pyran ring placed in the polyene chain This compound was successively elongated by Wittig reactions. The pyran-carotenoids obtained show a significant increased lambda(max) compared with carotenoids lacking the pyran ring. A further remarkable bathochromic shift was observed upon protonation to pyranium-carotenoids. The pyranium ring is the distinctive feature of anthocyanidin dyes and has now become all internal part of carotenoids.
