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.
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.
