Crystal structure of 2-[9-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,8-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridin-10-yl]acetic acid

Abstract

The title compound, C21H21NO5, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In each molecule, the central 1,4-dihydropyridine ring adopts a shallow sofa conformations (with the C atom bearing the phenol ring as the flap), whereas the pendant cyclohexene rings both have twisted-boat conformations. Each molecule features an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, which closes anS(8) ring. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by O—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
