Process for the transesterification of keto esters using solid acids as catalysts
-
, (2008/06/13)
A process for the transesterification of keto esters and alcohols in approximately stoichiometric amounts using a solid acid catalyst. Solid acid catalysts may be sulfated zirconia, sulfated tin oxide, sulfated titania, sulfated iron oxide, heteropoly acids, acidic clays, acidic zeolites, or any other solid acids with high acidity or super acidity, with or without dopants. One equivalent or more of keto ester, one equivalent or more of alcohol, the solid acid catalyst, and an appropriate solvent are mixed and heated to 70 to 120° C. at atmospheric or reduced pressure to furnish the keto transester in high yields.

A series of asymmetric 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates characterized by the presence of a 3,3-diphenylpropylamino moiety in one of the ester groups were synthesized. They exhibited remarkable antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats as well as affinity for the 1,4- dihydropyridines binding site labelled by 3H-nitrendipine in the calcium channel. Introduction of this bulky and lipophilic amine confers to the whole series an elevated level of antihypertensive activity and a long duration of action, a structure-dependent modulation of the activity being found only in the subset characterized by the presence of a branched propylene bridge between the ester and the amino groups. The presence of the amino group is essential for oral activity. Out of this series, compound 9u (Rec 15/2375- lercanidipine) was selected for clinical development and obtained marketing authorization as an antihypertensive in several countries.
