Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing progesterone by taking 1,4-androstenedione as a raw material, which comprises the following steps: 1) dissolving 1,4-androstenedione into an organic solvent, adding the acid of trimethyl orthoformate or triethyl orthoformate, and introducing nitrogen to protect the 1,4-androstenedione to synthesize the enol ether of 1,4-androstenedione, namely 3-methoxy-androstane 3,5-diene-20-ketone; and 2) dispersing (1-methoxy ethyl)-triphenylphosphine salt in a reaction medium, an organic solvent, adding alkali at low temperature, performing a Wittig reaction of the 3-methoxy-androstane 3,5-diene-20-ketone synthesized in the step 1), and purifying and crystallizing to obtain progesterone. By adopting the 1,4-androstenedione as the raw material, the method solves the problem that of lack in raw materials for synthesizing steroid drugs such as progesterone, and improves the utilization rate of 1,4-androstenedione and the yield of progesterone; the preparation process is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing progesterone, in particular to a method for preparing progesterone by using 1,4-androstenedione as a raw material. Background technique [0002] Progesterone is a natural progestin secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. It has a significant morphological effect on the estrogen-stimulated endometrium in vivo and is necessary to maintain pregnancy. [0003] Progesterone is clinically used in the reactive diagnosis of threatened abortion, habitual abortion and other amenorrhea or the cause of amenorrhea. [0004] At present, the synthetic method of progesterone has four following synthetic methods, specifically: [0005] (1) Synthesis of progesterone with diosgenin as raw material, the reaction equation is as follows: [0006] [0007] (2) Synthesis of progesterone with ergosterol as raw material, the reaction equation is as follows: [0008] [0009] (3) Synthesis of progesterone with stigmast...
