Abstract

The enantiospecific synthesis of the vitamin D-3 CD ring fragment 3 is reported. Key steps are the diastereoselective allylation of a norephedrine/dihydrocitronellic acid-derived oxazolidinone, and the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of a sulfonyl-substituted dienyne. The analogous cycloaddition reaction of a trienylsulfone substrate is shown to give products having the incorrect stereochemistry for vitamin D-3 synthesis.
