Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 5-{[4-(2-Chlorophenyl)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-2-yl]methoxymethyl}-3-pyrazolone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 4-{[4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-2-yl]methoxy}acetoacetate (0.50 g) and hydrazine hydrate (0.50 g) in ethanol (20 ml) was kept at room temperature for 4 days and then evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (1.0 g) using dichloromethane plus 0-5% by volume of methanol as eluant. Appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated and the residue crystallised from ethyl acetate to give the title compound (0.18 g), m.p. 207° C. Found: C,57.11; H,5.15; N,9.19. C22H24ClN3O6 requires: C,57.20; H,5.24; N,9.10%.
