Abstract
[beta]-Apo-2-carotenal, axeroph-thylideneacetone, and the C20 aldehyde obtained by oxidation of vit.-A alcohol fail to undergo "cyclization" on treatment with alcoholic HC1, whereas axerophthylideneiso-propyl alcohol gives a compound which shows the characteristic fine structure of a "cyclized" product. The bearing of these and other observations on the structure of "cyclized" vit.-A, vit.-A2, and subvit.-A is discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
