Properties: Deep purple prisms, polyhedra from petr ether or from benzene + methanol, mp 187.50° (evacuated tube). [a]18643 +385° (c = 0.08 in benzene). Absorption max (CHCl3): 485, 454 nm. More sol than b-carotene. Freely sol in carbon disulfide, chloroform; sol in ether, benzene. Slightly sol in petr ether, alcohol. 100 ml hexane dissolves 294 mg at 0°. Practically insol in water, acids, alkalies. Absorbs oxygen from the air, giving rise to inactive colorless oxidation products. The oxidation in light is autocatalytic. Store in darkness in sealed ampoules and at low temp (-20℃).
