VitaminA

Abstract: An overview of vitamin A from its use in ancient times to structural elucidation in the 1930s and commercially important retinoids and carotenoids is presented and their physical and chemical properties are discussed. The current industrial syntheses of vitamin A as well as the syntheses of β‐carotene are compared and contrasted. Biological aspects of vitamin A and β‐carotene in animal and plant systems are reviewed as well as important dietary sources of these substances.

“…The process is carried out at industrial scale in pressurised (2-5 bar) batch liquid phase reactors over Pd catalysts. 1 A shift from batch to continuous operation reduces the number of processing steps, which improves environmental performance (E-factor reduction from 23 → 3 kg waste generated kg product -1 ). 2 Alkynols can be classified based on the number of substituents bonded to the hydroxyl C as primary, secondary and tertiary (i.e.…”
