Abstract
A convenient synthesis of a racemic A-ring precursor of dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) is described. The key step involves the singlet oxygen ene reaction of the Lythgoe lactone, which proceeds with excellent regio- and good diastereoselectivities. Strong polar interactions are operative during the attack of 1O2 to the double bond, which is important for the mechanism of such reactions.

A solution of 415 mg (3.00 mmol) of lactone rac-6 and 2 mg of tetraphenylporphin (TPP) in 6 mL of CHCl3 was photooxygenated by passing a slow stream of dry oxygen gas through the solution at -30 °C. The mixture was externally irradiated with two 250 W sodium lamps for 3 d. The hydroperoxides were directly reduced to the corresponding alcohols by adding a solution of 800 mg (3.05 mmol) of PPh3 in 3 mL of CH2Cl2. The solvent was removed at 35 °C and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether-EtOAc 50:50) to afford 270 mg (58%) of trans-7 (R f = 0.21) as a white solid, mp 89-90 °C and 110 mg (24%) of cis-7 (R f = 0.16) as a colorless oil.
