Abstract For the enantioselective total synthesis of 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D 3 ( 3 ), we have developed an enantioselective approach to the “northern” portion building‐block 8 , starting from the optically active hexanoic acid derivative 44 , 2‐methylcyclopent‐2‐en‐1‐one ( 10 ) and 1‐(phenylthio)but‐3‐en‐2‐one ( 9 ). The steric course of the addition reaction of homochiral ( S )‐ketene acetals 28 , 40 , 44 and 58 with 10 was examined. We found that in the cases of 28 , 44 and 40 , the reactions occur with high simple and induced (facial) diastereoselectivities. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
