“…The bond lengths and bond angles in (I) are comparable with those in related structures (Hema et al, 2003(Hema et al, , 2004. The non-H atoms of (I) common to two related indolizine derivatives, dimethyl 3-benzoyl-7-(N,N-dimethylamino)indolizine-1,2-dicarboxylate and 3-(4-bromobenzoyl)-7-(N,N-dimethylamino)indolizine-1,2-dicarboxylate (Hema et al, 2003(Hema et al, , 2004, were superimposed on the corresponding atoms of these latter compounds and the r.m.s. deviations were found to be 1.2 and 0.86 Å , respectively.…”
