Synthesis of some new unsymmetrically substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines

Abstract

A series of some new 3,5-unsymmetrically substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines have been synthesized, which have ethoxycarbonyl and acetyl groups on 3- and 5-positions, respectively. A three-step procedure has been examined to increase the yield of the desired products, by suppressing the formation of the symmetrically substituted 3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydropyridines and 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. © 2006 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
