Various substituted oxazolidin-2-ones were synthesized from the corresponding amino alcohols using ethyl imidazole-1-carboxylate (EImC). Highly substituted and sterically hindered amino alcohols and amino alcohols having a free hydroxy group were cyclized to oxazolidin-2-ones efficiently. This method is simple and produces oxazolidin-2-ones in very good yield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the title compound, C(38)H(36)F(2)N(4)O(4), the pyrazole rings form dihedral angles of 50.02 (4) and 18.05 (4)° with their attached fluorobenzene rings, and make dihedral angles of 76.08 (4) and 73.54 (5)° with the aromatic ring of the attached phen-oxy group. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Examination of the symmetric Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester derivatives of the prototypical nifedipine molecule indicates the tendency of this class of molecule to form a common packing motif. Crystal structure analysis of 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic diesters and analogs reveals that they form extended chains, characterized as the C(6) packing motif, via intermolecular (amine) N-H...O=C (C3,C5 carbonyl) hydrogen bonds. In addition, all the prepared derivatives also satisfy the basic structural requirements for their high binding efficiency to the receptor. The reproducible C(6) packing motif observed among these compounds has a use in the design of solid-state materials.
