Expedited Approach to the Vitamin D trans-Hydrindane Building Block from the Hajos Dione. Comparative Study on Various Methods for the Selective Deoxygenation of One of the Hydroxy Groups in a Diol
Abstract

1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol, 1) is a bioregulator important for the treatment of various human metabolic diseases and biomedical research. Herein, we report an efficient diastereoselective approach to the key trans-hydrindane building block for calcitriol synthesis (2a) starting from the readily accessible optically active tetrahydroindenedione derivative (Hajos dione, 3). It was found that epoxide ring opening in a related hydroxy epoxide (7) with sodium cyanoborohydride−BF3 × Et2O occurs by hydride anion addition at the ring juncture position to produce a vicinal diol with the trans-hydrindane ring system (6a). Four methods for selective deoxygenation of the sterically less shielded hydroxy group in diol 6a were examined with an approach based on a cyclic sulfate of the diol as the most efficient and operationally convenient method.
