Reaction Steps

5-Cyano-2,6dimethyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-(2-aminophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine used as starting material is prepared by the following method: The solution of 0.8 g (2.5 mmoles) of 5cyano-2,6-dimethyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,4- (2-nitrophenyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (published German patent application No. 2,658,804) in 80 ml of methanol is submitted to hydrogenolysis in the presence of Pd-C at atmospheric pressure. After completed reduction the catalyst is filtered and washed with hot methanol. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is recrystallized from ethanol.
