p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 13533254, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.4 Grams of methyl 3-(4-tetrahydropyranyloxy-phenyl)2(E)-propenyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate was dissolved in 50 ml of methanol, then 0.2 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid was added to the solution and the whole mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was neutralized by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate, and methanol was removed by evaporation. The residue thus obtained was purified by means of a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform), recrystallized from benzene-ether to yield 2 g of methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2(E)-propenyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate as in the form of light yellow powdery substance. Melting point: 137.5°-139° C.
