Abstract：Stigmasterol(1) was separated from phytosterol. The intermediate, 3-ketobisnor-4-cholenaldehyde(3) was prepared through oppenauer oxidation and ozonation from 1. Progesterone was synthesized by addition-condensation and oxygenation catalyzed by cuprous chloride from 3. The overall yield was 69.1%. The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR and ESI-MS.
