M. Torneiro et al., COPPER-MEDIATED ALKYLATION OF VITAMIN-D C-RING - SYNTHESIS OF C-11-FUNCTIONALIZED 1-ALPHA,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN D-3, Tetrahedron, 53(31), 1997, pp. 10851-10870
This work describes our studies on the functionalization at C11 of CD-
ring fragments of vitamin D-3 using organocopper reagents. As an appli
cation, an efficient, convergent synthesis of 11 alpha-[3,3-(dimethoxy
)propyl] calcitriol analogue 2, which may be useful for the constructi
on of affinity columns for the purification of 1 alpha,25-(OH)(2)-vita
min D-3 receptors, is described. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
