The invention relates to a preparation method of a
steroid compound, in particular to the preparation for
prednisolone and the derivative thereof, which takes 17-hydroxyl-1, 4, 9-triene- pregna-3, 20-
diketone as the initiator and is improved by 9, 11th and 21st to obtain the
prednisolone and the derivative thereof, such as
prednisolone acetic ester, isoflupredone, and the like. The invention further provides the application of a compound (I) in the preparation of a compound (II). As the production process adopts the existing intermediate of the company as the initiator, the line is concise, the material is easy to obtain, expensive auxiliary materials are saved, and the yield and the cost are obviously superior to the historical synthetic method of the prednisolone and the derivative thereof; in addition, the adoption of the existing intermediate realizes the doubling production of the
triamcinolone products and the prednisolone products, thus greatly reducing the production cost and industrial conditions. R1 is equal to H, F, Cl and Br; R2 is equal to H, OH and OCOR3, wherein, R3 is equal to the
alkyl with less than 11carbon atoms.
