The present invention provides a process for the preparation of 1,4-dihydropyridines of the formula (1), wherein R1 is H, NO2, Cl, OAc, OH, R2 is H, NO2, Cl, -O-CH2-O-, OMe, OAc, OEt, OH, R3 is H, NO2, Cl, N(Me)2, -O- CH2 -O-, OMe, OAc, OH, R4 is H, OMe, OAc, OH, R5 is H, Cl, I, and R6 and R7 are either methyl, ethyl or both by preparing a mixture of an aromatic aldehyde, alkyl acetoacetate and a source of ammonia, adsorbing the prepared mixture and adsorbent till adsorbent becomes free flowing, heating the material so obtained under microwave irradiation, cooling the reaction mixture and recovering the compound of formula (1). The present invention also relates to novel 1,4-dihydropyridines with cardiovascular activity. |
