Abstract

A new approach to 19-nor-A-ring phosphine oxide 5 together with a convergent synthesis of the vitamin D3 analogue 1α,25-dihydroxy-19-norvitamin D3 (3) have been developed. The 19-nor-A-ring is constructed from (S)-carvone. The triene system is assembled by a Wittig-Horner coupling.

Keywords: 19-Nor-A-ring phosphine oxide; 19-Nor-calcitriol; Convergent synthesis; Vitamin D(3) metabolites.
