摘要:
The first (7Z)-vitamin D analogue, 15, was synthesized stereoselectively using, as the key step, Wittig-Horner coupling between an allylphosphine oxide anion and a alpha-benzoyloxy ketone. Compound 15 has the same triene system as the putative 7Z intermediate of the mechanism postulated by Okamura and co-workers for thermally induced [1,5]-sigmatropic hydrogen shifts in vinylallenes. Okamura's hypothesis is supported by the identity of the products of thermally induced [1,7]-sigmatropic hydrogen shifts in 15.
