摘要:
Vitamin D3 (6) has been converted to the 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 metabolite (1) and the 1-alpha-fluoro derivative 2 via a new process. The strategy involved the cleavage of the ring A portion from the CD portion in vitamin D3 followed by the individual modification of each subunit ot form 3, 4, and 5. The subsequent recombination of 3 and 5 formed 1 while 4 and 5 produced 2.
