Abstract: The novel 19-nor-lα,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 analogues possessing an ethyl at the 2-position(4 and 5), were synthesized by coupling 25-hydroxy Windaus-Grundmann ketone derivative 20 with A-ring synthons(15 and 19) respectively. The enantioselective synthesis of substituted bicyclic[3,1,0] hexanes structure A-ring synthons, started from all-cis-3,5-dihydroxy-4-ethyl-1-(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexane via lipase-catalyzd asymmetrization, was demonstrated.
