Methods The target compound was synthesized from pregnenolol via eight steps, including esterification, oxidation, hydrolysis, then oxidative ring-opening, cyclization, reduction, oxidization and finally acylation. Results The structure of the target molecule was identified by ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR and element analysis. The overall yield was 31.5%. Conclusion The effects of different reaction conditions on the yield of product in each step have been investigated and the optimal reaction conditions have been established.展开更多
