What is Pericyclic Reactions in Vitamin D Synthesis about?
Pericyclic reactions play an important role in synthesizing vitamin D in human skin. The formation of vitamin D3 involves two consecutive pericyclic reactions: 1) An electrocyclic ring opening reaction that converts 7-dehydrocholesterol to previtamin D3 via a conrotatory process according to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules. 2) A [1,7] sigmatropic hydrogen shift that forms the 6-s-cis isomer of vitamin D3 by proceeding in an antarafacial manner under thermal conditions. These pericyclic reactions in skin are the
