Reaction Steps

15 g (0.04 moles) of 2-(4-acetylaminophenoxy)-ethyl 2-(3-nitrobenzilidene)acetylacetate and 4.19 g (0.04 moles) of methyl 3-aminocrotonate are heated for 4 hours under reflux in 40 ml of ethanol. The solution is cooled to 7° C. to obtain 2-(4-acetylaminophenoxy)ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate as yellow crystals melting--after recrystallisation in isopropanol--at 202°-204° C. The yield was 68% of the theoretical yield.
