9-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-10-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine-1,8-dione

Abstract

The title compound, C30H32FNO2, was synthesized by the reaction of dimedone with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde and p-toluidine in water. The dihydropyridine and both of the cyclohexenone rings are not planar and have flattened boat conformations. The dihedral angle between the planar aromatic rings is 15.33 (3)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
