Recent Biomimetic and Organocatalytic Syntheses of ?-Tocopherol

We report here on our efforts to develop new strategies for the synthesis of ?-tocopherol, the biologically most significant member of the vitamin E family. This review comprises five new methods to generate the chiral chromane of ?-tocopherol with overall up to 29% yield from commercially...
