2-Benzylidene-3-oxo-butyric acid malimide esters(II), enantiomerically pure aminocrotonic acid malimide esters (IIIa) and enantiomerically pure acetoacetic acid malimide esters (VI) are new. Benzylidene compounds of formula (II), enantiomerically pure aminocrotonic acid esters of formula (IIIa) and enantiomerically pure acetoacetic acid esters of formula (VI) are new.

Independent claims are also included for: (1) the preparation of enatiomerically pure (II), (IIIa) and (VI); and (2) the preparation of diastereomeric 1,4-dihydropyridines of formula (IVa) or (IVb) by: (a) reacting enatiomerically pure (II) with aminocrotonic acid ester of formula Me-C(NH2)=CH-COOR1> (III) in a solvent, optionally in presence of base; or (b) reacting enatiomerically pure (IIIa) with benzylidene compound of formula R2>-CH=C(COMe)-COOR1> (IIa) in a solvent, optionally in presence of base.
