The title compound, C15H16N2O4S, represents a conformationally restric
ted dihydropyrimidine analogue of 1,4-dihydropyridine-type calcium ant
agonists and was selected for a crystal structure determination in ord
er to clarify some aspects of structure-activity relationships. The ca
rbonyl function of the acetyl group is oriented cis with respect to th
e C2-N3 bond, presumably to avoid repulsive interaction between the ne
gatively charged carbonyl O and thione S atoms.
