“…Oxidation of dihydropyridines is one of the ubiquitous issues in organic chemistry (Safaiee et al, 2018). In recent years several research groups have reported new oxidation methods which includes oxidation with ferric nitrate on a solid support (Balogh, Hermecz, Ménszáros, & Laszlo, 2004), manganese dioxide or DDQ (Zolfigol, Sadeghi, Mohammadpoor-Baltork, Choghmarani, & Taqian-Nasab, 2001), nitric oxide (Itoh, Nagata, Matsuya, Miyazaki, & Ohsawa, 1997), bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Mashraqui & Karnik, 1998), PCC (Vanden Eynde, Mayence, & Maquestiau, 1992), tetra kis-pyridine cobalt (II) dichromate (TPCD) (Safaiee et al, 2018), nicotinium dichromate (Loupy, Sansoulet, Díez-Barra, & Carrillo, 1992), N2O4 complex of 18-crown-6 (Zolfigol, Zebarjadian, et al, 2001), MClx/ NaNO2/wet SiO2 (Paul, Sharma, Gupta, Choudhary, & Gupta, 2007), silica chloride/NaNO2/wet SiO2 (Ali Zolfigol, Shirini, Choghamarani, & Mohammadpoor-Baltork, 2003), H2O2 Co(OAc)2 (Zolfigol, Sadeghi, et al, 2001), MCM-41 silica supported HPF6 (Ray, Brown, Bhaumik, Dutta, & Mukhopadhyay, 2013), NaHSO4/Na2Cr2O7/wet SiO2 (Zolfigol, Sadeghi, et al, 2001), peroxy-disulfatecobalt (II), Zr(NO3)4 (Sabitha, Kumar Reddy, Reddy, Fatima, & Yadav, 2003), hypervalent iodine reagents (Son, Truong, Mishra, Mishra, & Kim, 2018), Co(II) catalyzed auto-oxidation (Chavan, Kharul, Kalkote, & Shivakumar, 2003), Silica-supported ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) (Kumar et al, 2019), Au/TiO2 nanoparticles (Stratakis, Fragkiadakis, Kidonakis, & Zorba, 2020), sodium nitrite or nitrates (Monier, Abdel-Latif, El-Mekabaty, & Elattar, 2019) and heteropolyacid/NaNO2/wet SiO2 (Niknam, Zolfigol, Razavian, & Mohammadpoor-Baltork, 2005). Due to the importance of oxidative derivatives of dihydropydines, here we use three different methods for oxidation of dihydropyrides to synthetize ten derivatives and characterized using EIMS, NMR and CHN.…”
