Abstract

Abstract A silyl-enol ether of the formula ##STR1## wherein n stands for the number and X stands for a group ##STR2## or n stands for the number 1 and X stands for the 6,11-dimethylhexadeca-2,4,6,8,10,12,14-heptaene-2,15-diyl group, the symbols R 1 have the same or different significances and denote alkyl groups, and the symbol R 2 represents a trialkylsiloxy group --OSi(R 1 ) 3 or an ether group, is oxidized with percarboxylic acid and, if desired, the resulting α-siloxy ketone is hydrolyzed to an α-hydroxy ketone. This process is especially suitable for the manufacture of astaxanthin.
