Conclusions
A seven-stage method has been developed for the transformation of ubiquinone-9 to ubiquinone-10 using sulfur-containing synthons as the key step; the most effective synthon was found to be prenyl phenyl sulfide. The analogous homologization of solanesol and decaprenol using an isoprenyl trans-C5-hydroxysulfone was also examined.
