Hantzsch condensation of two equivalents of methyl-3-aminocrotonate with (m- and p)-methoxybenzaldehyde afforded the expected products 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-4-(m-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine and 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine, whereas o-methoxy-benzaldehyde produced mainly 1-amino-2-methoxycarbonyl-3,5-bis(o-methoxy-phenyl)-4-oxa-cy...

INTRODUCTION We report the synthesis of novel 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives containing biphenyl-2'-tetrazole moieties. We hypothesized that merging the key structural elements present in an AT1 receptor antagonist with key structural elements in 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers would yield novel analogs with potential dual activity for both receptors. This strategy led to the desi...

Two gas-phase formaldehyde (HCHO) measurement techniques, a modified commercial wet-chemical instrument based on Hantzsch fluorimetry and a custombuilt instrument based on fiber laser-induced fluorescence (FILIF), were deployed at the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR (Simulation of Atmospheric PHotochemistry In a large Reaction Chamber) to compare the instruments’ performances under a rang...

an efficient one pot multi component synthesis of 1, 4-polyhydroquinoline derivatives through unsymmetrical hantzsch reaction using lanthanum chloride heptahydrate (lacl3.7h2o) from an aromatic aldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, dimedone and ammonium acetate as a nitrogen precursor in ethanol at room temperature is described. in the present work we report lanthanum chloride heptahydrate remarkably n...

We describe a modified method for determining triglycerides in serum, in which alumina is used to adsorb interfering substances, and the glycerol content of triglycerides is determined colorimetrically. In contrast to all previous Hantzsch condensation procedures in which periodate and acetylacetone are used, the working periodate and the working acetylacetone reagents are stable for at least s...

Results from an intercomparison of several currently used in-situ techniques for the measurement of atmospheric formaldehyde (CH2O) are presented. The measurements were carried out at Bresso, an urban site in the periphery of Milan (Italy) as part of the FORMAT-I field campaign. Eight instruments were employed by six independent research groups using four different techniques: Differential Opti...

The reaction of formaldehyde with β-diketones (Hantzsch reaction) has been often employed for derivatizing formaldehyde to the fluorescent compounds.1,2 Among βdiketones, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone, Fig. 1) seems to be the most promising because of the strong fluorescence intensity and stability of the formed compound. Recently, we developed a method for concentrating trace hyd...

Hantzsch 1, 4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) can be oxidized to the corresponding pyridine derivatives by thallium triacetate in high yields.

A polymer-supported Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester was observed to be a useful selective reducing agent for the reduction of ketimines and electron-withdrawing conjugated olefins. The rate of the reduction of electron-withdrawing conjugated olefins is dependent on the nature of the conjugated substituents and could be enhanced by microwave irradiation. The reduction of (Z)-a-cyano-bbromomet...
