Abstract: | In 6‐methyl‐N‐(4‐nitrobenzoyl)‐5,6‐dihydropyridin‐2(1H)‐one, C13H12N2O4, (I), the piperidone ring is in a distorted half‐chair conformation. In 8‐methoxy‐3‐methyl‐N‐(4‐nitrobenzoyl)‐1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octahydroisoquinoline‐1,6‐dione, C18H20N2O6, (II), the heterocyclic ring is in a slightly distorted half‐boat conformation, while the other six‐membered ring is in a distorted chair conformation. Compound (II) presents a strong intramolecular C—H?O hydrogen bond. In both (I) and (II), the molecules interact through C—H?O interactions. |
