Two aromatic retinoids were synthesized from styrene derivatives using a novel strategy with a cross-metathesis reaction as a key step. The biological activity of the new etretinate analogues was tested. Cross-metathesis reactions were also employed for the preparation of ethyl retinoate and its 9Z-isomer via the C15 + C5 route.
