Molecular and crystal structure of 1-methylmorpholinium 6-methyl-4-phenyl-3-cyano-5-ethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridineselenolate

The structure of 1-methylmorpholinium 6-methyl-4-phenyl-3-cyano-5-ethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridineselenolate was studied using x-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring has a boat conformation, and the plane of the pseudoaxial phenyl substituent is perpendicular to the bottom of this boat.
