Zusammenfassung:The invention provides methods for preparing the various isomeric forms of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone utilizing cyanohydrin formation with readily prepared steroid materials followed by actinic radiation of the products and recovery of the desired 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone. The invention also provides new intermediate compounds in their various isomeric forms derived during the process for preparing the said vitamin D3 lactones. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone is recognized as having vitamin D-like activity and is believed to play an important role in the regulation of calcium and phosphate levels in the animal and human organism. The present invention provides a convenient method for preparing the various isomeric forms of this compound.
