3-Nitrobenzaldehyde → Nicardipine Impurity 19

Participants

Reaction Steps

10.3 g of 3-nitratopropyl acetoacetate, 7.7 g of 2-cyanoethyl 3-aminocrotonate and 7.6 g of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde in 76 ml of isopropyl alcohol were heated at reflux for 6.5 hours, and cooled on ice. The crystals which precipitated were collected by filtration, dried, applied to a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane) and recrystallized from ethanol to give 16.4 g of 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-(2-cyanoethyl) ester 5-(3-nitratopropyl) ester.
