In an effort to discover new potential boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, the title compound, C19H17BF2N4O4, was prepared from 2,4-dimethylpyrrole, 3,5-dinitrobenzaldehyde and boron trifluoride in a one-pot reaction. The BODIPY fragment is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.251 (2) Å, and the benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 86.8 (6)° to the BODIPY mean plane. In the crystal, pairs of C—HF hydrogen bonds connect neighbouring molecules into inversion dimers, which are linked by further strong C—HF interactions, forming a supramolecular layered array parallel to the bc plane.

In the title compound, C20H25NO5, the dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The methoxyphenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the pyridine ring [dihedral angle = 88.42 (3)°]. The two carbonyl units adopt a synperiplanar conformation with respect to the double bonds in the dihydropyridine ring. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N—HO hydrogen bonds into R44(24) tetrameric rings. A region of disordered electron density, located at the center of four adjacent molecules, was treated with the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155]. It is probably the result of traces of the solvent of crystallization and was not taken into account during the structure refinement.
