Ethanol → 2-(N-nicotinoylamino)ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

25 g (0.07 moles) of 2-(N-nicotinoylamino)ethyl 2-(3-nitrobenzylidene)acetylacetate and 7.51 g (0.07 moles) of methyl 3-aminocrotonate are heated uner reflux in 70 ml of ethanol for 45 minute. The solution is the cooled to room temperature to obtain 2-(N-nicotinoylamino)ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate as yellow crystals melting--after recrystallisation in ethanol--at 207°-209° C. The yield is 70% of the theoretical yield.
