Methyl 3-aminocrotonate → HCID 12896948, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-4,4-dimethoxyacetoacetate (15.19 g) and methyl 3-aminocrotonate (6.50 g) was heated at 60° to 63° C. for 6 hours and at 100° to 105° C. for 4 hours and 45 minutes. The resulting crystalline mass was triturated with methanol and collected by filtration to give crystals of dimethyl 2-methyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-6-dimethoxymethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (12.04 g). Thus obtained crystals (1.07 g) were recrystallized from methanol (5 ml) to give pure crystals (0.93 g), m.p. 132° to 133° C.
