Ammonium Hydroxide → HCID 9909712, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 30 g (0.07 mol) of 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-methyl ester 5-(tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethyl) ester in 72 ml of acetic acid, heated to reflux, 7.2 g (0.07 mol) of CrO3 were portionwise added. After the addition was complete, reflux was maintained for one additional hour. The reaction mixture was then slowly poured on ice-cooled aq NH4OH (150 ml). The mixture separated in two phases, and it was evacuated with CH2Cl2 (3×100 ml). The organic extract was dried with anh Na2SO4, and concentrated to dryness at reduced pressure. The resulting oil was crystallised in EtAcO-diethylether, yielding a white solid (mp 69-70° C., EtOH) with a yield of 79%.
