Abstract
In Chapter 2 Part II, the application of organometallic reactions for the synthesis of carotenoids and the necessary building blocks has been discussed. The synthesis of important building blocks by means of reactions with Li, Mg and Zn is described in the following worked examples. Furthermore, in Example 8, the synthesis of β,β-carotene (3) by a process involving the use of TiCl3 is described.
