Preparation method for abiraterone acetate

The invention discloses a preparation method for abiraterone acetate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dehydroepiandrosterone acetate and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride are subjected to sulfonyl reaction at the presence of an organic base catalyst to obtain a compound expressed in the formula II shown in the Specification; the compound and 3-pyridine organoboron componud or 3-pyridine organosilicon compound react at the presence of triphenyl phosphine palladium dichloride catalyst to obtain crude product of abiraterone acetate; the crude product is recrystallized in a proton solvent or a non-proton solvent to obtain abiraterone acetate crystal; the crystal is put into a diffluent solvent again to heat for dissolution and then the dissolved crystal is dropwise added to a less diffluent solvent and stirred for crystallizing solids to obtain micro-powder abiraterone acetate; the diffluent solvent is a mixture of more than two of acetone, ethanol and water at will and the less diffluent s
