Synthese von 3-desoxy-3-amino-vitamin D3 und 3-desoxy-3-epiamino-vitamin D3 und D2

Vitamin D₂ and D₃ are transformed with triphenylphosphane-diethylazodicarboxylate-HN₃ into the epimeric azidoderivatives 1 and 3 with inversion of the configuration at C-3. Reduction with LiAlH₄ yields 3-desoxy-3-epiamino-vitamin D₂ and D₃2 and 4, which are characterized as their acetamides 2a and 4a. Furthermore epivitamin D₃-p-nitrobenzoate 5 is produced by reaction of vitamin D₃ with triphenyl- phosphanediethylazodicarboxylate-p-nitrobenzoic acid, which yields epivitamin D₃5a after saponification. Utilizing the same method as above leads with epivitamin D₃ to 5a 3-desoxy-3-azidovitamin D₃6, which is reduced to 3-desoxy-3-amino-vitamin D₃7 by LiAlH₄ and characterized as its acetamide 7a.
