(25S)-24,24-Difluoro-1 alpha,25,26-trihydroxyvitamin D-3 (3a) and its (25R)-epimer (3b), either of which is expected to be a major metabolite of 24,24-difluoro-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (2), were synthesized. Asymmetric addition to beta-ketosulfoxides (5a, 5b) of trimethylaluminum was used as a key process to construct the chiral tertiary alcohol moiety of 3a and 3b. The absolute configuration of the tertiary alcohol was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of 20 which is a CD-ring analog of the 3a intermediate. The configuration at the C(25) position of the metabolite was established as S by HPLC comparison between the metabolite and chemically synthesized 3a and 3b. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
