Abstract top

In the title compound, C18H21NO5, the dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation and its planar part forms a dihedral angle of 84.60 (2)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, intermolecular N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of zigzag layers parallel to (001). These layers are interconnected via C-H...[pi] interactions.

Comment top

Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPS) are biologically active compounds which include various vasodilator, antihypertensive, bronchodilator, heptaprotective, antitumor, antimutagenic, geroprotective and antidiabetic agents (Gaudio et al., 1994). Nifedipine, nitrendipine and nimodipine have been used commercially as calcium channel blockers (Bocker & Guengerich, 1986; Gordeev et al., 1996). For the treatment of congestive heart failure a number of DHP calcium antagonists have been introduced (Sunkel et al., 1992; Vo et al., 1995). Some DHPs have also been introduced as neuroprotectant and cognition enhancers. In addition, a number of DHPs with platelet anti-aggregatory activity have also been discovered (Cooper et al., 1992).

In the title compound (Fig. 1), the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring (C7–C11/N1) adopts a flattened-boat conformation with puckering parameter Q = 0.2368 (9) Å; Θ = 72.8 (2)° and φ = 186.1 (2)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The C8–C11 plane forms a dihedral angle of 84.60 (2)° with the C1–C6 benzene ring. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within the normal range and are comparable to those in closely related structures (Fun et al., 2009a,b).

In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), intermolecular N1—H1N1···O4 and C18—H18B···O4 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link pairs of neighbouring molecules to form chains along the [100] direction; the chains contain R21(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). Intermolecular C14—H14A···O1 hydrogen bonds further interconnect these chains together to form zigzag layers parallel to the (001). The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions involving the C1–C6 benzene ring (centroid Cg1).

Experimental top

Dimethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,5-pyridine dicarboxylate was prepared according to the Hantzsch pyridine synthesis (Rathore et al., 2009). A mixture of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (10.0 mmol), methylacetoacetate (20.0 mmol) and ammonium acetate (10.0 mmol) was heated at 353 K for 2 h (monitored by TLC). After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and it was kept for 24 h to get a solid product. The solid formed was washed using diethyl ether. The washed solid was collected separately and the liquid kept for solidification. The purity of the crude product was checked through TLC and recrystallized using acetone and ether.

Refinement top

Atom H1N1 was located in a difference Fourier map and was refined freely [N–H = 0.854 (18) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93–0.98 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating-group model was applied for the methyl groups. Reflection 010 was partially obscured by the beam stop and hence was omitted. In addition, the most disagreeable reflections 114, 414 amd 248 were also omitted during the refinement.

Special details top

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
