    Abstract: The present invention provides an intermediate compound used for synthesis of polyene chain structure, that is an important moiety of carotenoid compounds, a process for preparing the same, and carotenoid polyene chain compounds prepared by using the intermediate, and, in particular, a process for preparing lycopene. The process for preparing the carotenoid polyene chain compound employs an allylic sulfone compound as starting material, which is reacted with C-5 sulfide compound to extend the carbon chain. The resultant thio-sulfone compound is oxidized, and the obtained disulfone compound is combined with C-10 di(haloallylic) sulfide compound to form a chain compound containing the desired number of carbon atoms. Then, the diallylic sulfone obtained by oxidation of the diallylic sulfide is subjected to Ramberg-Baklund reaction in order to form the central triene bond. After removal of sulfonyl groups, carotenoid polyene chain compound is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20020015826
    Abstract: Photoresist compositions, or photoacids, are used in etching circuit pathways on the surface of microelectronic components. Iodonium compounds generate a strong acid under short wavelength irradiation, which is capable of etching the polymeric surface coating of a silicon wafer. The strong acid is the conjugate acid of the counteranion. Larger counterions generate acids that diffuse to a lesser extent in the polymer resist matrix, producing better image resolution. Given the particular anion, the solubility of its diary iodonium salts will depend upon which aromatic rings are used on the iodonium molecule. A zwitterionic structure of the iodonium molecule, having both positive and negative charges on the same molecular species, can be used as photoacid composition in the photoresist step of microchip manufacturing.
