2-Nitrobenzaldehyde → 2,6-Dimethyl-3,5-dicarboxy-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 30 ml of isopropyl alcohol was dissolved 1 g of 2-nitratoethyl acetoacetate, 1.1 g of 3-nitratopropyl 3-aminocrotonate and 0.79 g of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde. The solution was treated in the manner described in Example 1 to obtain a residue, which was then subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (eluted with n-hexane-acetone=5:2) and recrystallized from ether to obtain 1.11 g of 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-(2-nitratoethyl) ester-5-(3-nitratopropyl) ester.
