Dimethyl 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate

Abstract

The title mol­ecule, C17H19NO5, was prepared by a Hantzsch dihydro­pyridine synthesis from 4-hy­droxy­benzaldehyde, methyl acetoacetate and NH4HCO3. In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, the dihydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation and the plane of the base of the boat forms a dihedral angle of 80.8 (2)° with the aromatic six-membered ring. The packing is stabilized by strong inter­molecular N—H⋯Ocarbon­yl, Ohydrox­y—H⋯Ocarbon­yl and weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
