The present invention provides a method for preparing a novel class of vitamin D compounds in which the C-25 or equivalent position has a double bond. In addition, the side chain is optionally extended by one or two methylene or methyne groups. The compounds prepared by the method of the present invention are of value as prodrugs for active 1&agr;, 24-dihydroxylated vitamin D compounds.

The invention relates to a method for the photochemical isomerization of organic compounds, in particular for the photochemical conversion of tachysterol compounds into previtamin D compounds and of trans-vitamin D compounds into cis-vitamin D compounds, under the influence of radiation, by exposing a solution of the organic compound to be converted in the presence of a non-polymeric photosensitizer to light with approx. 300-1,000 nm wavelength, and by then isolating the resulting product, wherein a substituted thiophene derivative having a substantial absorption in said wavelength region is used as the photosensitizer. The invention also relates to a new photosensitizer to be used for said isomerization reaction.

Thermochemically induced luminescence is generated in a fluorescent labeled organic compound containing a covalently bonded fluorescent label which is a polycyclic aromatic radical having at least three linearly fused benzene rings and capable of being excited to a fluorescent electronic excited state by energy transfer from an energy donor molecule or radical having an electronic excited state, by a process comprising generating an energy donor radical or molecule by a thermochemical reaction in the presence of the fluorescent label. The energy donor radical may be generated by a chemical reaction in the presence of the fluorescent labeled organic compound or the fluorescent labeled compound itself may be additionally labeled with a radical capable of being excited to an electronic excited state by a thermochemical reaction, i.e., by a process initiated by adsorption of thermal energy.

An alpha-hydroxyl-alpha,alpha-di(inert-substituted)-gamma',delta'-yne ketone can be prepared by a procedure comprising contacting an acetylenic Grignard reagent with an alpha-hydroxyl-alpha,alpha-di(inert substituted)-alpha',beta'-ene ketone, and the alpha-hydroxyl-alpha,alpha-di(inert-substituted)-alpha',beta'-ene ketone can be prepared by a procedure comprising steps of contacting, first, an alkoxy allene with a lithium donating organic agent, second, product of the first step with a di(inert-substituted)ketone, and third, product of the second step with an acidic substance. For example, 1-cyclobutyl-7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-1-hydroxy-1-phenylhept-5-yn-2-one, hydrochloride salt (ML-1012), can be prepared by the reaction of 1-cyclobutyl-1-hydroxy-1-phenylbut-3-en-2-one and 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-propyn-3-magnesium chloride, followed by salt formation with hydrogen chloride gas, and the 1-cyclobutyl-1-hydroxy-1-phenylbut-3-en-2-one can be prepared by the serial reactions of (1) 1-methoxy allene with n-butyllithium, (2) product of this first step with cyclobutylphenyl ketone, and (3) product of this second step with sulfuric acid.

Thermochemiluminescent complexes of an adamanthylideneadamantane 1,2-dioxetane and a cyclodextrin are non-volatile at the temperatures used to excite the thermochemiluminescence. The complexes can be encapsulated in immunosensitized microcapsules, e.g., liposomes, to provide a labeled immunoreagent useful in immunoassay using thermochemiluminescent labeled immunoreagents.

Optically active 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidic acid alkyl esters of high enantiomeric purity can be prepared through optical resolution of a racemic or optically enriched sample of a 3-(4-methoxyphenyl) glycidic acid. The alkali metal salt of the acid, generated in situ by hydrolysis of the corresponding alkyl ester with an alkali metal hydroxide is contacted with a suitable resolving agent such as an optically pure amine to form the corresponding diastereomeric salts. The desired diastereomeric salt is separated from the mixture and transformed to an alkali metal salt, which optionally without isolation is converted into the desired alkyl ester of high enantiomeric purity.
