✦ Synopsis
Palladium-catalyzed cyclization of 8-bromo-2,8-nonadienoates proceeded stereoselectively to give I cchydroxyvitamin D 3 A-ring synthons in good yields. l(x,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D 3 is known as the hormonaUy active form of vitamin D 3. Recently this hormone was found to induce cell differentiation of myeloid leukemia cells in addition to the role in calcium regulation, l) Since these potent biologically activities, a lot of synthetic efforts for la,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 have been made. 2) On the basis of Lythgoe's synthesis of vitamin D 3, Hoffman la Roche's group achieved the synthesis of let,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 using 2e as a useful precursor of A-ring synthon. 3) So far several synthetic methods for A-ring synthons starting from readily available chiral cyclohexanes have been reported, 4) but cyclization of acyclic compound has scarcely been reported. The latter has potent possibility to obtain vari-

The vitamin D A-ring synthon, the enyne 3b, was synthesized in 5 steps (37% overall yield) from (S)-(+)-carvone (5). The key step was the SmI2-Pd" mediated transformation of epoxypropargyl ester 6 to 3b.
The asymmetric synthesis of the A-ring of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 , (Z)-2, from 5-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy-2-cyclohexenone [(S)-1], is described where an intramolecular lactonization using cat. scandium triflate is the key reaction.
