ABSTRACT

The novel unsymmetrical 3,5-dialkoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-(7′,8′-dimethoxycoumarin-4′-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridines and 5-acetyl-3-alkoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-(7′,8′-dimethoxycoumarin-4′-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridines (coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines) have been synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation of 4-formyl-7,8-dimethoxycoumarin with alkyl acetoacetates in the presence of AlCl3 followed by cyclization of the resulted Knoevenagel product with other alkyl acetoacetate or acetyl acetone and ammonium acetate. The structure of the intermediate Knoevenagel product and the cyclized unsymmetrical coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines has been established on the basis of their spectral data analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The observed conformation of the coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines holds the key to promising calcium antagonistic activity of the synthesized coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines.
