Reaction of tocopheryl bromide 2a or chromanyl bromide 2b with triphenyl phosphine produced phosphomium salt intermediates (3a-b), which further reacted with acyl chlorides to novel furotocopherol compounds 4-11 in good yields. The cyclization proceeded according to a two step esterification-Wittig mechanism. Similarly, furotocopheryl dimer 12 was prepared starting from oxalyl chloride. The coupling of tocopheryl phosphonium salt 3a onto modified polystyrene provided a new, vitamin E-loaded resin.
