Recent progress in total synthesis of vitamin D_3 (cholecalciferol) and syntheses of vitamin D_3 active metabolites is reviewed. First, the method of total synthesis of vitamin D_3 via previtamin D_3 without photo-reaction (reported by Lythgoe et al.^<10)〜16)>) is mainly introduced. Next, the methods of syntheses of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-HCC), 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-DHCC), 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (24,25-DHCC) and 25,26-dihydroxycholecalciferol (25,26-DHCC) are described.
