Our Patent Application Serial No. 377,32fi relates to certain 1,4-dihydro-pyridine compounds having different subs~ituents in the 2-position and 6-position, to several processes for their production and to their use in agents which influence the circulation. ~his application is divided ou~
of Application Serial No. 377>326 and also relates to a l,~-dihydro-pyridine compound.
It has already been disclosed that 1,~-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-~1-phenyl-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl esters are obtained when benzylidene-acetoacetic acid ethyl ester is reacted with ~-aminocrotonic acid e-thyl ester or acetoacetic acid ethyl ester and ammonia ~see E.

Further, it is known that certain l,~-dihydropyridines possess inter-esting pharmacological properties (see F. Bossert and W. Vater, Naturl~issen-schaften 58, 578 (1971)~.
Further, dihydropyridines which carry different ester groups in the 3-position and 5-position are known (see DE-OS (German Published Specification)
2,117,571). l,~-Dihydropyridines with identical ester groups in the 3-position and 5-position and diEferent substi~uents in the 2-position and 6-position have hitherto not been disclosed.

The 2-dialkylamino-3,4--dihydropyridines of the formula X, used as starting materials, are known Erom the literature or can be prepared according to methods known from the literature (see H. Meyer, F. sossert and H. ~lorstmann, I,iebigs Ann. Chem. 1~395 (1977)).
As examples of starting compounds of formula X there may be mentioned:
2-dimethyl-amino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxyl-ic acid diethyl estert 2-dimethylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-ethyl-4-(2'-chlorophenyl)-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylie aeid diethyl ester, 2-dimethylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-propyl-~-(2'-methoxyphenyl)-pyridine-3,5-diearboxylie aeid diethyl ester, 2-(pyrrolidin-l-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(2'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-3,5-diearboxylie aeid diethyl ester, 2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-ethyl-4-(2'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-3,5-diearboxylic acid diethyl ester, 2-(piperidin-l-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(2'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-3,5-diearboxylie aeid diethyl ester and 2-(piperidill-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-~1-(2'-chlorophenyl)-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester.
Prcferrcd noble metal catalysts arc platinum and platirlum dioxide and a pre~erred solvellt is ~laeial acetic acid.
Th~ reaetion temperature ean be varicd t~ithin a substalltial rangc.
In general, thc reaction is carried out at bctwcen 10 and 100 C, but prefcrably at room tcmperaturc.

The reac~ion can be carried out under normal pressure but also under elevated pressure. The use of slightly supera~mospheric pressure is particularly advantageous.
In carrying out thc process according to the invention, the 3,~-dihydrvpyridine derivative of the formula X, used as starting substance, is hydrogenated in the presence of a sui-table noble metal catalyst, in glacial acetic acid until the ~uimolar amo~mto~ hydrogen has been taken -up.
Depending on the choice of the starting substances, the compounds according to the invention may exist in stereoisomeric forms, whicll e:ither are related to one another like an image and its mirror image (cnantiomers~ or are not related to one another like an image and its mirror image (diastereomers~. Both the antipodes and the racemic forms, and also the diastereomer mixtures, form a subject of the present inven~ion. The racemic forms, like the diastereomers, can be separated in a known manner into the individual steroisomer components (see for example, E.L. ElielJ
Stereo-chemistry of Carbon Compounds, McGraw Hill, 1962).
The l,~-dihydropyridine compounds have a broad and diverse pharmacological action spectrurm.
In de-tail, -the Eollowing main actions can be demonstrated in animal experiments:
(1) On parenteral, oral and perlingual administra-tion -the compounds produee a distinct and long-lasting dilation of the coronary vessels. This action on the coronary vessels is intensified by a simul-taneous nitrite-like effeet of reducing the load on the heart. They influence or modify the heart metabolism in the sense of an energy saving.
(2) The exeitability of the stimulus formation and excitation con-duction system within the heart is lowered, so that an anti-fibrilla-tion action demonstrable at therapeutic doses results.
(3) The tone of the smooth muscle of the vessels is greatly reduced under the action of the compounds. This vascular-spasmolytic action can take place in the entire vascular system or can manifest itself more or less isolated in circumscribed vascular regions (such as, for example, the central nervous system). The compounds are there'core particularly suitable as cerebral thera-peutie agents.
(4) The compounds lower the blood pressure of normotonlc and hyper-tonie animals and ean thus be used as anti-hypertensive agents.
(5) The eompounds have strongly muscular-spasmolytic actions which maniEest themselves on the smooth muscle oE the stomach, the intestinal tract, the urogenital tract and the respiratory system.
On the basis of these properties, the compounds accorcling to the inven-tion are particularly suitable Eor the prophylaxis and therapy of acute ancl chronic isehaemic heart disease in the broadest sense, for the theral~y oE
hy~ortension and for the troatmellt of cerebral ancl peripheral circulation disordors.
