In the title compound, C17H17Cl2NO2, the central 1,4-dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation. The ethanone substituents of the dihydropyridine ring at positions 3 and 5 have (cis) or antiperiplanar (trans) conformations with respect to the adjacent C=C bonds in the dihydropyridine ring. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0045 (1) Å] and almost perpendicular [89.27 (3)°] to the mean plane of the dihydropyridine ring. In the crystal, an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond links molecules into a zigzag chain along the ac diagonal. C—H⋯Cl contacts form centrosymmetric dimers and additional weak C—H⋯O contacts further consolidate the packing.

2,4,dicholrobenzaldehyde (10 mmol), acetylacetone (20 mmol) and ammonium acetate (10 mmol) in ethanol were heated on a steam bath until the color of the solution changed to reddish-orange. The mixture was cooled in ice to yield a solid product, which was extracted using diethylether. The purity of the crude product was checked through TLC and recrystallized from acetone/ether 1:1 [yield: 60%, m.p. 218–220°C].
H atoms were placed at calculated positions and allowed to ride on their carrier atoms with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH2 and CH groups and Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 group. The N-bound H atom is located in a difference Fourier map and its positional parameters were refined.

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. |

1,4-Dihydropyridine derivatives have yielded many drugs which act as calcium channel agonists or antagonists (Rose, 1989, 1990) and various bioactive compounds such as vasodilator, antiatherosclerotic, antitumor, geroprotective, heptaprotective and antidiabetic agents (Salehi & Guo, 2004). Triggle and co-workers (Triggle et al., 1980; Janis & Triggle, 1984; Langs & Triggle, 1985) have identified some important structural requirements for biological activity. We have studied the crystal structure of 1,1'-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine- 3,5-diyl]diethanone.
In the title compound (I)(Fig. 1), C17H17Cl2NO2, the central 1, 4-dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The ethanone substituents of the dihydropyridine ring at positions 3 and 5 have different (cis/trans) configurations with respect to the double bonds in the pyridine ring. Each group is oriented in a synperiplanar (cis) or antiperiplanar (trans) conformation with respect to the adjacent C═ C in the dihydropyridine ring, which is evident from the torsion angles of C6—C5—C11—O2 [31.44 (40)°] and C2—C3—C9—O1 [172.43 (20)°], respectively.
The methyl groups attached at C2 and C6 positions of the pyridine ring adopt equatorial orientation as can be seen from the torsion angles [C7—C6—N1—C2] 165.54 (20)° and [C8—C2—N1—C6] -164.62 (20)°. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring is planar and almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the dihydropyridine ring with the plane angle: 89.27 (3)°. This close to perpendicular orientation of the dichlorophenyl ring to the dihydropyridine ring can be ascribed to the greater steric hinderance with the two ethanone groups at C3 and C5. Atom N1(x,y,z) of the pyridine ring make a intermolecular hydrogen bond with the atom O1(-1/2 + x, 1/2 + y, -1/2 + z), leading to a zigzag chain running along the diagonal of the ac - plane (Fig. 2). C17—H17···Cl2 contacts form centrosymmetric dimers and additional weak C—H···O contacts further stabilise the structure, Table 1.
