2-Chlorobenzaldehyde → HCID 20245563, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-(2-azidoprop-1-oxy)acetoacetate (13.05 g), 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (8.3 g) and methyl 3-aminocrotonate (6.8 g) in methanol (80 ml) was heated under reflux for 19 hours, reduced to half-volume, and then cooled overnight at -20°. The resulting precipitate was collected, washed with a little cold methanol, and dried to give 2-(2-azidoprop-1-oxymethyl)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (4.0 g) as a pale yellow solid, m.p. 115°, characterised spectroscopically.
