Ethyl 2-(pyridine-4-carboxamido)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H18N2O3S, the dihedral angles between the thiophene ring and the ethyl ester group and the pyridine-4-carboxamide unit are 7.1 (2) and 9.47 (11)°, respectively. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene and the pyridine-4-carboxamide residues generate R22(16) loops. There exists positional disorder in three methelene groups of the cyclohexane ring and the terminal C atom of the ethyl ester side chain in a 0.691 (14):0.309 (14) occupancy ratio.
