Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-mercaptomethyl-3,5-dicarboethoxy-4-(m-nitrophenyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (5 g), acrylonitrile (0.66 g) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (0.1 g) in EtOH (60 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and then evaporated to dryness. After the usual work-up, the residue is recrystallized from Et2O to give 5.2 g of 2-[(2-cyanoethyl)thio]methyl-3,5-dicarboethoxy-4-(m-nitrophenyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine m.p. 102°-104° C.
