Nomenclature. The Vitamin D compounds ate steroidal materials and thus ate named according to the lUPAC-IUB rules for nomenclature (1) (Table 1). Vitamin [520-91 -2] is a mixture of vitamin D2 and lumisterol. 

In 1981, the lUPAC-IUB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature proposed that there be a set of trivial names for the important vitamin D compounds, including calciol [67-97-0] for vitaminD, calcidiol [19356-17-3] ion 25-hydroxy-vitaminD, and calcitriol [32222-06-3] ion 1 a,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D. This nomenclature has met with varying degrees of acceptance, as has the proposal to use calcine [69662-75-5] (deoxy-vitamin D2) and ercalcine [68323-40-0] (deoxy-vitamin D ) to name the triene hydrocarbon stmcture for 9,10-j (9-cholesta-5,7,10(19)-ttiene and... 

P-Hydroxy steroids which contain the 5,7-diene system and can be activated with uv light to produce vitamin D compounds are called provitamins. The two most important provitamins are ergosterol (1) and 7-dehydrocholesterol (3). They are produced in plants and animals, respectively, and 7-dehydrocholesterol is produced synthetically on a commercial scale. Small amounts of hydroxylated detivatives of the provitamins have been synthesized in efforts to prepare the metaboHtes of vitamin D, but these products do not occur naturally. The provitamins do not possess physiological activities, with the exception that provitamin D is found in the skin of animals and acts as a precursor to vitamin D, and synthetic dihydroxalated... 

The hydrogenation in the presence of Pd/G is also effective for the d compounds to amines. The Michael addition of nitromethime to 2-alkenoic esters followed by catalytic hydrogenation using 10% Pd/G in acetic acid md hydrolysis is a convenient method for the preparation of 3-alkyl-4-aminobut moic acids, which are importimt y-amino acids for biological snidy fEq. 6.48. The reduction c m be carried out at room temperanire md atmospheric pressure.

Care should be taken to prevent either the dibromoketone or the cyclopropenone from coming into contact with the skin, as allergic reactions have been observed in several cases. The use of gloves is recommended especially for the bromoketone. The latter product has a wide melting range because it is a mixture of the meso- and d,/-compounds.

Compounds are prepared according to the typical procedure. d Compounds are prepared using the typical procedure omitting HMPA. 

In spite of the former widespread use of d and l to denote absolute configuration, the method is not without faults. The designation of a particular enantiomer as d or l can depend on the compounds to which it is related. Examples are known where an enantiomer can, by five or six steps, be related to a known d compound, and by five or six other steps, be related to the l enantiomer of the same compound. In a case of this sort, an arbitrary choice of d or l must be used. Because of this and other flaws, the DL system is no longer used, except for certain groups of compounds such as carbohydrates and amino acids. 

One of the major problems In the treatment of patients with vitamin D compounds (l.e., patients with hypoparathyroidism) has been the unpredictable development of hypercalcemia and the syndrome of vitamin D Intoxication. Although this problem may become less serious when some of the faster-acting metabolites and analogues of metabolites of vitamin D become available for clinical use. It Is likely that monitoring of serum levels of... 

The facile conversion of carbonyl groups into lactones via cyclobutanones offers many opportunities for synthetic applications considering the importance of butanol-ides in natural products synthesis. The iridoids vividly illustrate this potential. Allamandin (163) 135 c) and its dehydrated relative plumericin (164) 135 d), compounds possessing antifungal, antibacterial, and antitumor activity, pack a great deal of...
