New process for synthesizing steroid 3-one-4-ene

The invention discloses a new process for synthesizing steroid 3-one-4-ene. The method comprises the steps: with steroid 3-hydroxy-5-ene as a starting material, in a nonprotic organic solvent, with air or oxygen as an oxidant and with a transition metal nitrate and a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl free radical or an analogue thereof as catalysts, oxidizing to obtain the steroid 3-one-4-ene. The method has the advantages of high yield, mild reaction conditions, easily controlled operation, low energy consumption, low cost, and safety; and the whole process is friendly to the environment, and is suitable for industrialization.
