Chemical synthesis of (24R)-24,25-dihydroxy[26,27-3H]vitamin D3 of high specific activity.

Chemical synthesis of (24R)-24,25-dihydroxy-[26,27-3H]vitamin D3, and its 24-epimer has been devised that allows introduction of 3H at the terminal step of the synthesis. The epimeric mixture is derivatized as the tris(trimethylsilyl) ethers and resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography. The product has a specific activity of 178 Ci/mmol and is fully active in binding to the rat plasma vitamin D binding protein and in the elevation of serum calcium levels of vitamin D deficient rats. The synthesis begins with the readily available 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholenic acid methyl ester and involves a Pummerer rearrangement, introduction of the delta 7, irradiation, and isolation of the 26,27-dinor-25-carboxylic acid methyl ester of vitamin D3. This compound is then treated with a Grignard reagent containing 3H (80 +/- 10 Ci/mmol).
