The invention relates to a synthetic method of cholesterol. The synthetic method of the cholesterol specifically comprises the following steps that 1, firstly, triphenylphosphine and 1-chlorine-4-methylpentane are used to react to obtain a 4-methyl pentyl triphenyl phosphonium chloride solution, then potassium tert-butoxide or sodium tert-butoxide is added to react to obtain a witting reagent, a witting reaction occurs by adding pregnenolone into the witting regent, and a compound 03 is obtained through extracting after complete reaction; 2, under the action of chirality phosphine ligand and a rhodium catalyst, an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction occurs to the compound to obtain the cholesterol. According to the synthetic method of the cholesterol, a 6-step reaction of an existing method is simplified into a 2-step reaction, and meanwhile the ring-opening reaction consuming a large amount of hydrochloric acid and zinc powder is omitted. The technology is simple, the consumption of raw materials is less, the yield is high, the cost is low, environmental protection is achieved, so that the economical effect and the environmental protection are achieved, and the industrial implementation is facilitated.
