Retinol (2 g, 7 mmol) is dissolved in 50 ml of toluene and 2.4 g (7 mmol) of triphenylphosphonium hydrobromide is added. The mixture is stirred for 18 hours at room temperature and 2 hours at 60° C., then cooled and the toluene separated. The viscous sediment is digested four times with 25 ml of dry toluene. The final sediment is dissolved in 100 ml of methylene chloride. The solution is evaporated under reduced pressure and dried in vacuo to give retinyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide. This substance is dissolved in 40 ml of DMF and the resulting solution is cooled to -10° C. and 0.3 g of NaH, (50% dispersion in oil) is added carefully. The mixture is stirred for 2 hours and 4 g (0.07 mol) of acetone is added dropwise. After two hours at -10° C., the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and poured into 600 ml of ice-H2O mixture. The mixture is extracted several times with hexane. The combined organic layers are washed with a mixture of methanol-H2O (3:2, v/v) and brine, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporation of solvent under reduced pressure affords the crude product. Purification of the crude product with a dry column (hexane:petroleum ether, 1:1) gives 2,5,9-trimethyl-11-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8,10-undecapentaene.
