Reaction Steps

N-{2-[(4-{2-Chlorophenyl}-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrid-2-yl)methoxy]ethyl}-N'-cyano-S-methyl-isothiourea (0.4 g) and hydrazine hydrate (0.15 ml) were dissolved in ethanol (20 ml) and heated under reflux for 3 hours. The solvent was then evaporated and toluene (10 ml) was added to the residue, and again the solution was evaporated to dryness. The residue was chromatographed on Merck "Kieselgel 60H" (Trade Mark), eluting with 2% methanol is methylene chloride, to give a beige solid. The solid was recrystallised from ethyl acetate plus a trace of ether to give the title compound, yield 0.1 g, m.p. 137°-138°.
