Participants

Reaction Steps

6.5 g of 3-cyanobenzaldehyde, 8.7 g of γ-ethoxyacetoacetic acid ethyl ester and 7.2 g of β-amino-β-ethylacrylic acid ethyl ester in 80 ml of ethanol are heated overnight under reflux, the mixture is cooled, and after filtration, and washing with cold ethanol, 2-ethoxymethyl-6-ethyl-4-(3'-cyanophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester is obtained in the form of light yellow crystals of melting point 125°C, in a yield of 42% of theory.
