PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL AND DERIVATIVES

摘要

The present invention provides a composition comprising alpha tocotrienol quinone of high purity, wherein the alpha tocotrienol quinone of high purity has a purity of more than 90%, wherein any solvent that can be readily removed from the alpha tocotrienol quinone by evaporation is not considered an impurity, and wherein 2-((6E, 10E)-3R-hydroxy-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-6,10,14-trienyl)-3,5,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione comprises at least 97% of the 2-(3-hydroxy-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-6,10,14-trienyl)-3,5,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione material present.
