K. Iseki et al., PREPARATION AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITY OF 7,27,27-HEXAFLUORO-1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN-D-2, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 43(11), 1995, pp. 1897-1901
A new fluorinated analog of vitamin D-2, 24-epi-26,26,26,27,27,27-hexa
fluoro-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-2, was efficiently synthesized st
arting from (R)-4-isopropyl-3-propionyl-2-oxazolidinone with high ster
eochemical control, In all four physiological test systems, the fluori
nated vitamin D, analog was found to be slightly less active than 1 al
pha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3.
