Reaction Steps

15 g (0.04 moles) of 2-(4-acetylaminophenoxy)ethyl 2-(3-nitrobenzylidene)acetylacetate and 6.37 g (0.04 moles) of 2-methylthioethyl 3-aminocrotonate are heated under reflux in 30 ml of ethanol during 8 hours. The solution is then cooled to -5° C. to obtain 2-(4-acetylaminophenoxy)ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-(2-methylthioethoxycarbonyl)-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate as yellow crystals melting--after recrystallisation in ethanol--at 76° C.-80° C. The yield is 80% of the theoretical yield.
