A little attention has yet been paid to <strong>the</strong> chemistry <strong>of</strong> formyl-substituted<br />

dihydropyridines [1,2] and <strong>the</strong>re are no electrochemical investigations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. In <strong>the</strong><br />

work <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis and anodic oxidation <strong>of</strong> symmetrical and asymmetrical substituted<br />

1,4-DHP bearing chemically active formyl- or its protective acetal group has been<br />

studied. In acetonitrile <strong>the</strong> anodic oxidation <strong>of</strong><br />

4-Formyl-substituted 1,4-DHP are stable compounds at <strong>the</strong> room temperature, while in<br />

<strong>the</strong> solution aldehyde group at C-4 in dihydropyridine molecule could easy be oxidized<br />

to <strong>the</strong> acid or reduced with subsequent intramolecular condensation with <strong>the</strong> substituent<br />

at C-3 or C-5.<br />
