Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,5-Dicyano-2,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,4- dihydropyridine

Abstract

The title compound was synthesized by the Hantzch method and characterized by the X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with cell parameters a = 8.722(7)Å, b = 11.420(1)Å, c = 13.307(1)Å and Z = 4. The structure has N-H···N type intermolecular hydrogen bonds and exhibits a flattened boat conformation.
