The invention discloses an improved preparation method of alfacalcidol. The preparation method is characterized by comprising the following steps: starting from 1 alpha-OH-3,5-cyclized vitamin D3, directly carrying out ring-opening hydrolysis without an acetate intermediate to obtain alfacalcidol and a trans-isomer thereof, carrying out a Diels-Alder reaction, selectively reacting with the trans-isomer, and carrying out column chromatography separation or methyl formate recrystallization to obtain a pure alfacalcidol product. The method is simple and convenient to operate, mild in reaction condition and high in total yield, and is suitable for large-scale synthesis of products.
A modified synthesis of the antiosteoporosis drug alfacalcidol via a key photochemical transformation of 1α-5,6-Trans-Vitamin D3

Alfacalcidol (1α-hydroxyvitamin D3) is an important clinical drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. Its practical synthesis has been intensively pursued across academia. The difficulties of separating 5,6-cis and 5,6-trans isomers in the current process was avoided by photochemical transformation of the 5,6-trans isomer into the 5,6-cis isomer. Employing vitamin D3 as a starting material, alfacalcidol was obtained by a five-step reaction sequence of esterification, cyclization, oxidation, solvolysis ring-opening, and subsequent photochemical reaction. The overall yield has been greatly improved from 17% to 31%. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

A direct synthesis of C(1) hydroxylated vitamin D analogues from the corresponding vitamin D precursors has been developed.Allylic oxidation of 3,5-cyclovitamin D derivatives, readily obtained from the buffered solvolysis of vitamin D tosylates, with selenium dioxide yields 1α-hydroxylated 3,5-cyclovitamin D compounds which are smoothly converted to the desired 1α-hydroxyvitamin D derivatives by acid-catalyzed cycloreversion.Application of this scheme to vitamin D3 (1a), 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1b), and vitamin D2 (1c) affords the 1α-hydroxy products in ca.20 percent overall yield.
