Diethyl 4-[4-(dimethyl-amino)phen-yl]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(21)H(28)N(2)O(4), the dihydro-pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The mean plane of the dihydro-pyridine ring and the attached benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 85.1 (1) Å. One of two ethyl fragments is disordered between two conformations in a 0.67 (4):0.33 (4) ratio. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules related by translation along the a axis are linked into chains via inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
