Synthesis and X-ray powder diffraction data of cis-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-6-nitro-2-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline

The 2,4-diaryl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivative (1), described in the title (Chemical formula: C23H22N2O3), was synthesized via the “one-pot” three-component imino Diels–Alder reaction catalyzed by Cu(OTf)2. Molecular characterization was performed by 1H and 13C NMR, Fourier transform-infrared, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the title compound was analyzed and found to be crystallized in an orthorhombic system with space group P212121 (No. 19) and refined unit-cell parameters a = 8.6415(8) Å, b = 12.679(2) Å, c = 17.601(2) Å, and V = 1928.4(2) Å3.
