Synthesis and thermal decomposition study of some dihydropyridine derivatives

Some new dihydropyridine derivatives have been synthesized and their characterization was done by FT-IR, 1H NMR and Mass spectral data. Thermal analysis of these dihydropyridine derivatives have been carried out by thermao gravimetric (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. Further, from thermograms of these compounds, various kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n), energy of activation (E), frequency factor (A) and entropy change (∆S) have been evaluated. The obtained results indicates that thermal stability of dihydropyridine derivatives have been depend on the type of substituent present in the compounds.
