Natural (—)‐menthol ( 4 ) was oxidized to the lactone 9 which was alkylated with allyl bromide to a single product 10 . The latter compound was transformed into bromo epoxide 33 which was cyclized with the highly reactive copper to the desired ring D Building block 18 of (24 S )‐24‐hydroxy vitamin D 3 . The title compound 18 was synthesized also by free‐radical cyclization of enaldehyde 40 .
