Enhanced E/Z Isomerization of (All-E)-lycopene by Employing Iron(III) Chloride as a Catalyst

Catalytic isomerization of (all‐E)‐lycopene to Z‐isomers using iron(III) chloride was investigated and optimized under various conditions of solvents, concentrations of iron(III) chloride, and reaction temperatures. The total contents of Z‐isomers converted were higher in the order of CH2Cl2 (78.4%)...
