Abstract: | The title compounds, benzyl 4‐(3‐chloro‐2‐fluorophenyl)‐2‐methyl‐5‐oxo‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1H‐cyclopentab]pyridine‐3‐carboxylate, C23H19ClFNO3, (I), and 3‐pyridylmethyl 4‐2‐fluoro‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]‐2,6,6‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate, C26H24F4N2O3, (II), belong to a class of 1,4‐dihydropyridines whose members sometimes display calcium modulatory properties. The 1,4‐dihydropyridine ring in each structure has a shallower than usual shallow‐boat conformation and is nearly planar in (I). In each structure, the halogen‐substituted benzene ring is oriented such that the halogen substituents are in a synperiplanar orientation with respect to the 1,4‐dihydropyridine ring plane. The oxocyclopentene ring in (I) is planar, while the oxocyclohexene ring in (II) has a half‐chair conformation, which is less commonly observed than the envelope conformation usually found in related compounds. In (I), the frequently observed intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond between the amine group and the carbonyl O atom of the oxocyclopentene ring of a neighbouring molecule links the molecules into extended chains; there are no other significant intermolecular interactions. By contrast, the amine group in (II) forms an N—H...N hydrogen bond with the pyridine ring N atom of a neighbouring molecule. Additional C—H...O interactions complete a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. The halogen‐substituted benzene ring has a weak intramolecular π–π interaction with the pyridine ring. A stronger π–π interaction occurs between the 1,4‐dihydropyridine rings of centrosymmetrically related molecules. |
