Reaction Steps

To a solution of 14 (0.920 g, 3.0 mmol), 1,3-cyclopentadione (0.098 g, 1.0 mmol), and L-proline (0.005 mg) in dichloromethane (5 mL), diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (0.253 g, 1.0 mmol) was added, and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at rt for 12 h. The reaction mixture was directly purified by silica gel column chromatography using a gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes as eluent, obtaining the title compound. Yield: 76%.
