In the title compound, C26H33NO2 [systematic name: (3S,8R,9S,10R,13S,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-17-(pyridin-3-yl)-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15-dodecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl acetate], the steroid A, B, C and D rings adopt chair, half-chair, chair and envelope conformations, respectively. The flap atom of the envelope is the methine C atom fused with the C ring. In the crystal, adjacent molecules, generated by a 21 screw axis, are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a C(16) helical chain running along the c-axis direction.
Keywords: crystal structure; androsta-5,16-diene; hydrogen bonds; C(16) chain.

Abiraterone acetate was synthesized from dehydro-epiandrosterone acetate via enol esterification and Suzuki coupling with an overall yield of 72% according to a literature method (Potter, 1995). Colorless blocks were obtained by evaporation from an ethyl acetate solution.
All H atoms bound to carbon were refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, for aromatic, 0.98 Å for C—H and 0.97 Å for CH2 with Uiso=1.2Ueq (C). d(C—H) = 0.96 Å with Uiso = 1.5Ueq (C) for CH3 H atoms. The
could not be determined reliably and Friedel pairs were merged prior to the final A is not reported.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2004); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is thought to be hormone driven. Inhibition of the androgen signal axis remains an important treatment strategy for CRPC (Attard et al., 2009). The title compound, 3S-acetoxy-17-(pyridin-3-yl)androsta-5,16-diene, also referred to as abiraterone acetate, (Scheme I), is a pro-drug for 17-(pyridin-3-yl)androsta-5,16-dien-3P-ol, or abiraterone, a potent inhibitor of human cytochrome P45017a (steroidal 17α-hydroxylase-C~17,20~-lyase). Abiraterone acetate was first synthesized and charaterized by Potter et al. (1995), but structural data were not obtained. In this work, we obtained a single-crystal of the title compound (I) and we present its structure here. The space group was non-centrosymmetric confirming the chiral structure. However with no heavy atom, the absolute structure cannot be determined reliably but the absolute structure (Fig.1) has been assigned based on that of the precursor compound dehydro-epiandrosterone (Potter et al., 1995).
In the molecule, there are six chiral carbon atoms. The molecule contains a fused four-ring system. The two saturated six-membered rings adopt chair conformations while the five-membered ring is in an envelope conformation on C14. The six-membered ring with the carbon-carbon double bond approximates to a half chair form. A 21 screw chain running along the c axis, Fig. 2 is formed through weak C21–H21A···O2 hydrogen bonds, Table 1.
