Procedure
To a solution of diethyl 2-methyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-6-diethoxymethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (1.1563 g) in acetone (10 ml) was added 6N-hydrochloric acid (2.5 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. After removing acetone, water was added to the residue and neutralized with aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and then dried to give yellowish powder to diethyl 2-methyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-6-formyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (0.9407 g). The product was recrystallized for a mixture of ethanol and n-hexane to give the pure product, m.p. 101°to 103° C.
