Vorschrift
17-dihydroexemestane is prepared from exemestane as described in Mareck, U. et al., Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom, 20: 1954-62, 2006 with minor modifications. Briefly, exemestane and NaBH4 are individually dissolved in methanol/water (4:1, v/v). For reduction of the 17-keto functional group of exemestane, NaBH4 is slowly added to the suspended exemestane in a 1:2 molar ratio. The mixture is left at ambient temperature for at least 1 h and then assayed by thin layer chromatography to ensure reaction completeness prior to solvent removal by vacuum. After dissolving the dry residue in 1.5M HCl, 1M KOH (500 μL) is added. The mixture is extracted by ethyl ether, dried by vacuum, and re-dissolved in 30 ml ethyl ether:hexane (1:1) at 50° C. After 3 days, the formed crystals are washed with hexane and dried by vacuum. The synthesized 17-dihydroexemestane structure is characterized by a Bruker 500 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer and HPLC/MS/MS, with the MS spectrum resulting in a clear peak at m/z 299 [M]+ and a daughter product at m/z 135.
