To investigate the biological profile of the previtamin form of vitamin D, we synthesized new analogues of 19‐ nor ‐1α,25‐dihydroxyprevitamin D 3 bearing a 2‐hydroxyethylidene moiety at the A‐ring. The target compounds were prepared by convergent synthesis using a Sonogashira coupling between an A‐ring enyne synthon and a CD‐ring/side‐chain vinyl triflate. We have demonstrated the versatility of shikimic acid as a starting material for the synthesis of the A‐ring precursors. The binding affinity to vitamin D receptor (VDR) and human vitamin D binding protein (hDBP), and the MCF‐7 cell antiproliferative activity were evaluated.
