The vitamin E analogues (2 R ,4′ R ,8′ R )‐nor‐α‐tocopherol (94 % de ) and (2 RS ,4′ R ,8′ R )‐nor‐α‐tocopherol have been synthesized from (all R )‐hexahydrofarnesol and phytol, respectively. According to in vitro experiments with murine macrophages nor‐α‐tocopherol is an anti‐inflammatory compound more potent than α‐tocopherol.
