Procedure

Dehydroepiandrosterone (2.88 g, 10 mmol) is dissolved in a mixture (100 ml) of anhydride acetic and pyridine (1:1 v/v) and left at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture is then poured carefully into iced water and after 16 h, crystals are filtered and dried in vacuo.

Workup

  1. filtrationcrystals are filtered
  2. customdried in vacuo
