Archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT) are some of the most unusual membrane lipids identified in nature. These amphiphiles are the major constituents of the membranes of numerous Archaea, some of which are extremophilic organisms. Due to their unique structures, there has been significant interest in studying both the biophysical properties and the biosynthesis of these molecules. However, these studies have thus far been hampered by limited access to chemically pure samples. Herein, we report a concise and stereoselective synthesis of the archaeal tetraether lipid parallel GDGT-0 and the synthesis and self-assembly of derivatives bearing different polar groups.

An asymmetric synthetic route for 1-iodofarnesane, a key intermediate for tocopherol side chain synthesis, starting from (+)-(R)-citronellal was developed. 1-Iodofarnesane was prepared through eight steps in about 50% overall yield, and asymmetric transfe

The invention relates to the (stereoselective) hydrogenation of carbon-carbon double bonds in compounds having at least one such bond, e.g., isoprenoids, non-cyclic sesquiterpenes, tocomonoenols, tocodienols, tocotrienols or derivatives thereof, as well as to the (stereoselective) hydrogenation of parts/extracts of plant oils containing such tocotrienols or derivatives thereof, in the presence of a chiral Ir complex as the catalyst, whereby preferably one stereoisomer is manufactured in an excess.
