Procedure
To a solution of 5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (700 g, 2.1 mol) in methanol (14 L) was added Quinidine (617 g, 1.90 mol). The mixture was stirred at 90° C. under reflux until Quinidine was completely dissolved. The stirring was continued for 3 hours. 4.5 L water was added. The stirring was continued for half an hour. The mixture was cooled down slowly. A solid was precipitated out and was filtered. The filter cake was treated with hydrochloric acid to produce (R)-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (130 g) in a yield of 18.6%.
