Participants

Reaction Steps

12.86 g (20 mmole) of 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-3-methoxycarbonylpyridine-5-carboxylic acid 6-(5-p-nitrophenyl-3-pyrazolyloxy)hexyl ester (Example 60) was dissolved in 100 ml of ethanol, to which was added 5 ml of Raney nickel, and catalytic hydrogenation was effected at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, thereby 1350 ml (60 mmole) of hydrogen was absorbed. The Raney nickel was filtered off from the reaction mixture, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a pale yellow oily residue. This residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using a mixed solution of chloroform-methanol (the ratio by volume of 3:1) as an eluent, and the fractions containing the intended compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a pale yellow oily residue. This residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and after adding 5 g of activated charcoal, stirred well, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain 6.63 g (yield 54.0%) of the 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4 -(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-3-methoxycarbonylpyridine-5-carboxylic acid 6-(5-p-aminophenyl-3-pyrazolyloxy)hexyl ester as a pale yellow powder.
