Storage method

This product should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from light.

Synthesis method

Obtained from the oxidation of pregnenolone. Add dry toluene into a dry reaction pot, add cyclohexanone and pregnenolone, stir to dissolve, steam toluene to dehydrate, quickly add aluminum isopropoxide, and place in 115℃ oxidation reaction2h, cool to80℃, add under stirring5%rare sulfuric acid, let it stand for layering, separate the water layer, wash the toluene layer with water until neutral, then perform steam distillation to evaporate toluene and cyclohexanone. Cool, filter, and stir the filter residue into a slurry with petroleum ether, filter, wash with petroleum ether, and dry to obtain crude progesterone. Dissolve the crude product in ethanol, decolorize with activated carbon, and recrystallize the finished product, yield80%.

Purpose

hormone drugs. It mainly promotes and maintains uterine changes in early pregnancy and is used for habitual miscarriage, irregular menstruation, etc.
