Abstract We tried to synthesize all-trans-9,9‘,13,13’-tetramethyl substituted carotene that contained terminal benzene ring. The 9-(Z)-carotene was exclusively obtained irrespective of coupling reaction and disconnection methods for terminal unsubstituted benzene rings. We devised a method to construct all-trans carotene based on the fact that β-carotene can be easily prepared in all-trans form, in which the ring ortho-methyl substituents were conceived to play an important effect on the configuration of the polyene chain.
