摘要:
A method of purifying 1&agr;-hydroxyvitamin D2 to obtain 1&agr;-hydroxyvitamin D2 in crystalline form. The method includes the steps of boiling a solvent selected from the group consisting of ethyl formate, ethyl acetate and a 2-propanol-hexane mixture under inert atmosphere, dissolving a product containing 1&agr;-hydroxyvitamin D2 to be purified in the solvent, cooling the solvent and dissolved product below ambient temperature for a sufficient amount of time to form a precipitate of 1&agr;-hydroxyvitamin D2 crystals, and recovering the 1&agr;-hydroxyvitamin D2 crystals. Petroleum ether is also added to the solvent after dissolving the product to be purified in the solvent.

A method of purifying 1&agr;,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D2 to obtain 1&agr;,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D2 in crystalline form. The method includes the steps of boiling a solvent under inert atmosphere, dissolving a product containing 1&agr;,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D2 to be purified in the solvent, cooling the solvent and dissolved product below ambient temperature for a sufficient amount of time to form a precipitate of 1&agr;,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D2 crystals, and recovering the 1&agr;,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D2 crystals. The purification technique involves using one of several binary solvent systems, namely, acetone and hexane, 2-propanol and hexane, or ethyl formate and petroleum ether.
