The Synthesis of 2,2′‐Dinor‐carotenoids. 2,2′‐Dinor‐carotenoids which include the naturally occurring actinioerythrol ( 1 ) and the blue carotenoid violerythrin ( 2 ) have been obtained by total synthesis. The synthesis starts with acetone and acetylene and yields compounds 1 and 2 as well as other carotenoids of the same type.
