The invention relates to a synthesis method for dinoprostone (prostaglandin PGE2), and in particular a method for converting prostaglandin F (for example, PGF2 alpha) to prostaglandin E (for example, PGE2). The method comprises the following steps of: oxidizing 11-site and 15-site hydroxy-protected prostaglandin PGF2 alpha to hydroxy-protected PGE2 by environment-friendly pyridine sulphur trioxide, and then hydrolyzing and de-protecting in citric acid aqueous solution to obtain PGE2. The method has the characteristics of being green and environment-friendly, safe to operate, convenient in after-treatment, short in production cycle, low in cost, and high in productivity and purity, as well as is suitable for industrialized production.
