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

The title compound, C18H19NO5, is a product of the Hantzsch reaction of p-phthalaldehyde, methyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate. The 1,4-dihydro­pyridine ring of the mol­ecule adopts a flattened boat conformation. The benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the 1,4-dihydro­pyridine ring; the plane through the six C atoms of the benzene ring and the plane through the four C atoms that form the base of the boat-shaped 1,4-dihydro­pyridine ring (excluding the ring N atom and the opposite ring C atom) make a dihedral angle of 87.60 (3)°. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of extended chains along the a axis

Conformation of 1,4-dihydropyridine — planar or boat-like?

AbstractThe geometry of the 1,4-dihydropyridine molecule was completely optimized employing three different ab initio basis sets (6–31 G*, 4–31 G, STO—3G). The most reliable 6–31G* basis set provides a very flat boat conformation which may easily undergo defolding to a planar ring arrangement. This result is discussed with respect to enzymatic redox cofactors and the pharmacological activity of dihydropyridine calcium antagonists

A copper-benzotriazole based coordination polymer catalyzes the efficient one-pot synthesis of (N'-substituted)-hydrazo-4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines from azines

A series of new (N’-substituted)-hydrazo-4-aryl-1,4 dihydropyridines were successfully synthesized via a facile one pot catalytic pathway utilizing azines and propiolate esters as starting materials and 1D Cu benzotriazoles based coordination polymer as catalyst. In the absence of catalyst, the corresponding 5-substituted 4,5-dihydro pyrazoles were formed in moderate to high yields. Fine-tuning the catalysts allowed us to gain more insights regarding the plausible reaction mechanism
