The present invention refers to a process for transition-metal-assisted .sup.18F-deoxyfluorination of phenols. The transformation benefits from readily available phenols as starting materials, tolerance of moisture and ambient atmosphere, large substrate scope, and translatability to generate doses appropriate for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Chemical compounds that inhibit cancer cell growth are provided. The compounds are heteroarotinoids and derivatives thereof with oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur in chroman systems, tetrahydroquinoline systems, and tetrahydrothiochroman systems.

The present invention is directed towards the use of substituted chroman-6-ols of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently from each other H or C.sub.1-11-alkyl or (CH.sub.2).sub.nOH with n being an integer from 1 to 4, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent together a keto group, 10 A is CHR.sup.3 or C(O), and wherein R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.6 are independently from each other H or C.sub.1-4-alkyl, and wherein R.sup.5 is H or OH or C.sub.1-4-alkyl or C.sub.1-4-alkoxy, as antioxidants, especially in feed such as pet food and feed ingredients such as fish meal, insect meal and poultry meal, as well as PUFA-containing oil such as marine oil, microbial oil, fungal oil, algal oil and PUFA-containing plant oil. The present invention is further directed towards feed ingredients and feed for insects, aquatic and terrestrial animals comprising such substituted chroman-6-ols of formula (I).
