In this paper we describe an efficient seven-step synthesis of crocetin through the use of in situ procedures. Firstly, crocetin-dimethylester was synthesized by the Wittig-Horner reaction with two compounds 2,7-dimethyl-2,4,6-oct-triene-1,8-dialdehyde and methyl O,O-diethyl-γ-phosphonotiglate. Crocetin- dimethylester was then converted into crocetin.

Key words: Wittig-Horner reaction, crocetin-dimethylester., crocetin, synthesis
