TrSbCl6-catalyzed addition of selected optically active ketene acetals to 2-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one for steroid synthesis is described. Inversion of facial selectivity in 1,3- and 1,4-asymmetric induction was observed.

The 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 enantiomer was synthesized and examined in biological tests. The ring A precursor was prepared from vitamin D2 employing the Mitsunobu reaction for inversion of the configuration at C-3 and SeO2 hydroxylation at C-1. The CD rings-side chain portion was synthesized from an optically active hexanoic acid derivative using diastereoselective tandem Mukaiyama-Michael addition and vinylsulfone reduction as the key steps. The ring A and CD rings building blocks were combined using the Julia alkenylation reaction. 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 enantiomer shows no significant affinity to the vitamin D receptor.
