The structures of dibutyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, C23H30N206, diisobutyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, C23H30N206, and di-tertbutyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, C23H30N206, members of the 1,4-dihydropyridine class of calcium antagonists, have been determined. Increasing the bulk of the esterification groups, as quantified in a cone-angle analysis, leads to greater perpendicularity of the dual ring system. This leads to conclusions about the potential activity of these compounds.
Comment AbstractThe structures of (E)-6-chloro-3-[2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)ethenyl]-4-chromanone, CITHIoC1204S, (E)-6bromo-3-[2-(4-bromophenylsulfonyl)ethenyl]-4-chromanone, C17HIoBr2OnS, and (E)-3-[2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)ethenyl ]-6-methoxy-4-chromanone, C 18 H 13 C105 S, display similar bond angles and distances, but differ in the conformations of the ring systems.
