PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a ketoaldehyde, enabling to obtain the ketoaldehyde useful as an intermediate in the fields of medicines, perfumes, etc., in a high yield by simple operations by reducing a specific unsaturated lactone with a metal hydride reducing agent. SOLUTION: (A) A compound of formula I [R2 is (substituted) (un)saturated hydrocarbon group, a (substituted) alicyclic hydrocarbon group, a (substituted) aromatic hydrocarbon group; R1 is H, R2 ; (n) is 1-3] is reduced with (C) a metal hydride reducing agent such as diisobutylaluminum hydride or sodium dimethoxyethoxyaluminum hydride in (B) an organic solvent such as toluene, tetrahydrofuran or n-hexane e.g. in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of -20 to -78 deg.C to obtain the objective compound of formula II.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the production of capsanthin. SOLUTION: An epoxyaldehyde derivative easily synthesizable from (4R,6R)-4- hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone widely used as an optically active raw material for carotenoid synthesis is subjected to site- and stereo-specific ring- opening and rearrangement reaction to obtain cyclopentyl ketone expressed by formula (7). The cyclopentyl ketone is reacted with a Wittig salt in the presence of a base and the obtained acetal is hydrolyzed to obtain apocarotenal. Capsanthin is produced by reacting the apocarotenal with a Wittig salt in the presence of a base. The invention further relates to an intermediate of the above reaction.
