3-Nitrobenzaldehyde → 2-Amino-6-dimethylamino-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

After boiling a solution of 7.5 g of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and 15.8 g of N,N-dimethyl-3,3-diaminoacrylic acid ethyl ester in 150 ml of ethanol for 4 hours, the solution was concentrated in vacuo. On triturating the resulting oil with ether, filtering off the crystals which separated out and crystallizing these from isopropanol, the yellow-orange colored crystals of 2-amino-6-dimethylamino-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, of melting point 149° C, were obtained. Yield, 61% of theory.
