Synthesis of a 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 analog (3), in which the double bond in the side-chain is replaced by an amide group, is described. Condensation of a carboxylic acid (8) with an amine (6) gave an amide (9), which in turn led to 3 via several steps. The analog (3) could not bind to the chick cytosol vitamin D receptor, which indicated the importance of the hydrophobic interaction of the C(22)-C(23) double bond in 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 (2) with the vitamin D receptor.
Since a lead acetate solution can remove most of the ultraviolet (UV) light in the range below 275 nm which usually gives undesirable by-products in the photochemical conversion of ergosterol to vitamin D, it is useful as a filter solution for the reaction to obtain higher yield of vitamin D. When a 5% lead acetate solution was used as the filter, the yield of vitamin D was 20-25% higher than that without using filter solution.
