Ethyl methyl 1,4-dihydro-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-2, 6-bis(1-piperidylmethyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate.

In the title compound, C(28)H(38)N(4)O(6), the 4-aryl substituent occupies a pseudo-axial position approximately orthogonal to the plane of the dihydropyridine ring [88.1 (3) degrees ]. The dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The H atom on the pyridine N atom is involved in a bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond, the acceptors being the N atoms of the two piperidylmethyl groups [N.N 2.629 (4) and 2.695 (4) A].
