Acetyl chloride → Abiraterone Acetate

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred suspension of finely powdered 17-(3-pyridyl)androsta-5,16-dien-3β-ol (3.50 g, 10 mmol) in dry diethyl ether (150 ml) coning triethylamine (2,3 ml, 16 mmol) and dimethylaminopyridine (0.012 g, 0.1 mmol) was added acetyl chloride (1.0 ml, 14 mmol). The mixture was then stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h, over which time a thick whim precipitate of triethylammonium chloride had formed. The mixture was then filtered and the filtrate concentrated to afford the crude product which was recrystallised firstly from ethanol/water (1:1), then finally from hexane to afford the title compound (3.30 g, 84%).
