A NEW CANDIDATE FOR A PROPERLY SUBSTITUTED CD RING COMPONENT OF VITAMIN-D-3 VIA INTRAMOLECULAR ASYMMETRIC OLEFINATION OF A 1,3-CYCLOPENTANEDIONE DERIVATIVE
T. Mandai et al., A NEW CANDIDATE FOR A PROPERLY SUBSTITUTED CD RING COMPONENT OF VITAMIN-D-3 VIA INTRAMOLECULAR ASYMMETRIC OLEFINATION OF A 1,3-CYCLOPENTANEDIONE DERIVATIVE, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(20), 1994, pp. 5847-5849
A highly diastereoselective synthesis of hydrindenone derivative 5 (98
% de) was achieved via diastereotopic differentiation of 1,3-cyclopent
anedione derivative 4 by intramolecular Horner-Emmons olefination. In
addition, the compound 5 was converted to ketone 2, a new building blo
ck far 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1).
