Chemical Properties
Crystals, yellowish-white
Uses
Methyl 3-aminocrotonate (Methyl 3-amino-2-butenoate) was used to synthesize 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines possessing potential calcium channel blocking activity.
Uses
Methyl 3-aminocrotonate is used as intermediate for the syntheses of pharmaceuticals (e.g. 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives) as well as for the manufacture of stabilizers and plastics. Product Data Sheet
Uses
Nitrendipine (N490150) metabolite. The pharmacokinetics of Nitrendipine was studied in the rat and 6 major metabolites were identified.
Application
Methyl 3-aminocrotonate reacts with benzene to form the corresponding E-2-phenyliodonio tosylate in good yield. This new alkenyl iodonium salt upon reaction with various nucleophiles offers an easy access to substituted enamine derivatives of crotonic acid. The reaction can be also extended to N-substituted crotonates
[1].
Preparation
3-Aminocrotonate Esters, e.g., methyl 3- aminocrotonate [14205-39-1] (3-amino-2-butenoic acid, methyl ester) can be prepared by treatment of acetoacetates with aqueous ammonia. They are mainly used in the production of a series of the dihydropyridine-type calcium antagonists.
General Description
Methyl 3-aminocrotonate undergoes waste-free solid-state cascade reaction with crystalline ninhydrin.
Flammability and Explosibility
Not classified
