2-Chlorobenzaldehyde → HCID 54101000, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (1.0543 g), ethyl 4,4-diethoxyacetoacetate (1.6477 g) and piperidine (1 to 2 drop(s)) in benzene (30 ml) was refluxed under azeotropic dehydration for 4.5 hours. After cooling, the resultant solution was washed with water and dried. The solvent was removed from the solution to give orange oil (2.7196 g) of ethyl 2-(2-chlorobenzylidene)-4,4-diethoxyacetoacetate. The mixture of the compound obtained above and ethyl 3-amino-4,4-diethoxycrotonate (1.6580 g) was heated with stirring at about 100° C. for 1.5 hours and about 120° C. for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and dried, and then the solvent was removed from the solution to give orange oil (4.21 g) of diethyl 2,6-bis(diethoxymethyl)-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate. The product was purified by a column chromatography on silica gel with an eluant (benzene:ethyl acetate=10:1) to give pure product.
