β¦ Synopsis
Recently much attention has focused on inducing the hydroxyl group at C-1 and C-25 positions of 1 to obtain the active compound (2, 3, and 4).
A. From Cholesterol
Barton et a1.6 reported in 1973 the convenient synthesis of 1-OH-D3 (3) from la,2a-epoxycholesta-4,6-dien-3-one (8) (obtained from 5 by two steps). Treatment of 8 with large excesses each of lithium metal and ammonium chloride in ammonia-THF under reflux gave la-hydroxycholesterol. Acetylation and subsequent bromination afforded the bromo compound, which was dehydrobrominated to give the diene diacetate (9). After irradiation of 9, the re-

## Abstract Details on the iodineβcatalyzed reactions of previtamin D, tachysterol, __cisβ__ and __trans__βvitamin D (influence of solvent, concentration, wavelength of light) are given. The possibility of a previtamin D determination based on the __cis/trans__ isomerisation is indicated. Some resu
## Abstract The syntheses are described of previtamin D β and vitamin D analogues to be used for the study of the thermal precalciferol β calciferol isomerization reaction. A previtamin D analogue (4) prepared as indicated by Inhoffen could not be obtained in a pure state. Closer inspection reveal
