Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 19.7 g of 1,2,6-trimethyl-(2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (melting point 190°C) in 200 ml of alcohol is heated to reflux and 60 ml of a solution of 2.3 g of sodium in 100 ml of alcohol, together with 13.2 g of mercaptoacetic acid ethyl ester, are added thereto. The mixture is refluxed for 15 hours and thereafter filtered and evaporated. The precipitate obtained after adding a little ether is recrystallized from methanol to yield yellow crystals of melting point 118°C.
