The title nitrophenyl pyridine compound, C20H22N2O6 was synthesized as a degradation product of the hypertension medication nisoldipine. The dihedral angle between the nitro-substituted phenyl ring and the pyridine ring is 75.5 (4)°. There are a number of C—H⋯O interactions between symmetry-related molecules>.

A solution of nisoldipine (10 mmol) in 50 mL anhydrous ethanol was exposed to sunlight for 10 h at ambient temperature. 50 mL of water was added to the mixture and it was then filtered. The crude product was purified by flash
(40/60 ethyl acetate/ether).H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C—H = 0.92—0.96 Å with with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(CMe)

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

Nisoldipine is a calcium channel blocker with vasodilator properties (Marciniec et al. 2002). It is used in several commercial preparations for treatment of hypertension (Kazda et al. 1980). It has been the subject of many analytical chemical investigations. Synthetic conditions result in side-reactions and formation of 1,4-dihydropyridines. This compound is a degradation product of nisoldipine.
The molecular structure is shown in Fig 1. The dihedral angle between the planes of phenyl and the pyridyl rings is 75.5 (4)°. There are a number of C—H···O interactions between symmetry-related molecules.
