5-androstene-3β-ol-17-keto-3-acetate is used as raw material, hydrogenated under the catalysis of palladium and carbon to obtain androstane-3βol-17-one 3-acetate, and then hydrolyzed in sodium hydroxide solution to obtain androstane-3β-ol-17-one, and then oxidized with chromic acid to obtain the product.
