Problems solved by technology

[0011] The chemically synthesized intermediate 5-AD in this method has poor stability. According to the report in the literature Org.ProcessRes.Dev.2016, 20, 1520-1528, the potassium alkoxide obtained after 4-AD is treated with tert-butanol and potassium tert-butoxide The intermediate state is easy to react with oxygen, so an antioxidant must be added during the water analysis of glacial acetic acid. According to the patent CN105483198A, the yield of 5-AD from 4-AD is only 32%, which is very low. However, it is recorded in CN105339382A and CN106086148A Potassium tert-butoxide was used in the synthesis of 5-AD in the method, and sodium ascorbate was needed to inhibit the oxidation of 5-AD. The operation was complicated and difficult to control, and the purity of 5-AD was the main problem affecting the next reaction, which brought Impurities seriously affect the quality and yield of dehydroepiandrosterone, which brings great difficulties to industrialized production
[0012] According to literature Org.Process Res.Dev.2016,20,1520-1528, CN105483198A report 5-AD method yield and quality are all poor, according to CN105339382A, CN106086148A report 5-AD method, even adding sodium ascorbate to inhibit 5-AD Oxidation of -AD, we found through stability experiments that 5-AD is still easy to transform into other impurities under airtight conditions, which has a greater impact on the purity of 5-AD, thus affecting the next step of the reaction to obtain dehydroepiandrosterone quality and yield
