This analysis establishes the rotameric orientation of the pyridyl-ring N a
tom of the title compound, C17H21N3O4. 0.5C(6)H(6), as antiperiplanar (ap)
to the 1,4-dihydropyridine H-4, the absence of an intramolecular hydrogen b
ond between the 1,4-dihydropyridine NH and the pyridyl-N atom, and the unus
ual planarity of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring.
