Simultaneous Synthesis of Vitamins D2, D4, D5, D6, and D7 from Commercially Available Phytosterol, β-Sitosterol, and Identification of Each Vitamin D by HSQC NMR
2019
We succeeded in simultaneously synthesizing the vitamin D family, vitamins D2, D4, D5, D6, and D7, from β-sitosterol, which is sold as a commercially available reagent from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. It is officially sold as a mixture of four phytosterols {β-sitosterol (40–45%), campesterol (20–30%), stigmasterol, and brassicasterol}. Owing to this, we anticipated that, using this reagent, various vitamin D analogs could be synthesized simultaneously. We also synthesized vitamin D3 from pure cholesterol and analyzed and compared all vitamin D analogs (D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7) by HSQC NMR. We succeeded in clearly demonstrating the difference in the NMR chemical shifts for each vitamin D analog.
