Triethylamine → HCID 70067608, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.205 ml of triethylamine (1,476 mmol.) and 0.133 ml of methoxyethoxymethylchloride (MEM-Cl) (1,476 mmol.) are added to a solution of 3,5-dicarboethoxy-6-methyl-2-mercaptomethyl-4-(m-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine (400 mg, 0,984 mmol.) in anhydrous THF. The mixture is left to react for 30' at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is diluted with a mixture of ethyl acetate-water 1:1 (100 ml) and the phases are separated: the organic phase is washed with a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution (3×20 ml) and water (2×20 ml), dried on sodium sulphate, filtered and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure, yielding 422 mg of 3,5-dicarboethoxy-6-methyl-2-(methoxyethoxy-methylthiomethyl)-4-(m-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine, as a glassy yellow oil.
