organic compounds
The title compound, C21H24FNO3, has potential calcium modulatory properties. The 1,4-dihydropyridine ring has a shallow boat conformation with the 2-fluorophenyl substituent in an axial synperiplanar orientation. The quinoline ring has a half-chair conformation. Steric interactions between the adjacent methyl and ethoxycarbonyl substituents cause local bond-angle distortions. The molecules are linked into chains by intermolecular N—HO hydrogen bonds.
