2,3-Epoxypropyl 4'-methoxyphenyl ether → Dimethyl 4-[2-[4-[2-hydroxy-3-(p-methoxyphenoxy)propylamino]butoxy]-5-nitrophenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 200 ml of methanol were dissolved 2 g of dimethyl 4-[2-(4-aminobutoxy)-5-nitrophenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate and 0.84 g of glycidyl 4-methoxyphenyl ether, and the solution was refluxed under heating for 3 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and the product was eluted with chloroform-methanol (95:5 v/v). Crude crystals were recrystallized from a mixture of methanol and ethyl ether to give 0.85 g of dimethyl 4-[2-[4-[2-hydroxy-3-(p-methoxyphenoxy)propylamino]butoxy]-5-nitrophenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate.
