Vorschrift
In one embodiment of the invention, abiraterone is acetylated by using acetic anhydride in the presence of a base, preferably triethylamine, and purified in hexane and ethanol to give pure abiraterone acetate of formula (I) with an overall yield up to 43-45% from the DHEA and a high purity (up to 99.0% by HPLC). In this embodiment, charcoal and a chelating resin are advantageously added to the hexane and ethanol solution of abiraterone acetate; the reaction mixture is then filtered and the pure active ingredient is crystallized. Suitable chelating resins that can be used in the invention are immobilized resins such as complex phenol-formaldehyde based resins; the Hokuetsu brand type MA-A resin (available from Ajinomoto) being preferred.
