Abstract

A novel protocol for the microwave-assisted synthesis of (all-rac)-alpha-tocopherol, including its C-10- and C-15-analogues, is reported. A rotating microwave reactor working under vacuum favoured the rapid evaporation of condensation water and solvent at the end of the process. The main advantages of this fast procedure are its good yield, selectivity, versatility, lower solvents and energy consumption, easier workup and-scalability.
