In this paper, we report an efficient synthetic route for the 23,23-difluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub> (<b>5</b>) and its 24-hydroxylated analogues (<b>7</b>,<b>8</b>), which are candidates for the CYP24A1 main metabolites of <b>5</b>. The key fragments, 23,23-difluoro-CD-ring precursors (<b>9</b>-<b>11</b>), were synthesized starting from Inhoffen-Lythgoe diol (<b>12</b>), and introduction of the C23 difluoro unit to α-ketoester (<b>19</b>) was achieved using <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-diethylamin ...[more]
