    1. Introduction

    A multicomponent reaction (MCR) provides powerful toolfor the synthesis of complex molecules and drug like hetero-cycles and has great interest in diversity oriented synthesis.MCRs are economic, selective, plain procedure and timeand power saving with being ecofriendly in organic syn-thesis [1–3]. Acridinediones containing a 1,4-DHP nucleusare used as laser dyes with very high efficiencies of photoinitiators [4, 5]. A latest literature review reveals that 1,4-DHPnucleus exhibits calcium channels blockers and antiaggre-gatory activity. Besides this, 1,4-DHP skeleton shows manybiological activities such as antihypertension, anticancer,antidiabetics, geroprotective, neuroprotectant, and anti-HIV[6]. Synthesis of 1,8-dioxoacridinedione is usually carried outby MCRs of dimedone, aldehydes, and ammonium acetate[7, 8]. In continuation of our ongoing work on multi-component reaction derivatives and their crystal structureanalyses [9, 10], we report the synthesis and crystal struc-ture of 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4,6,7,9,10hexahydroacridine-1,8-dione 1 and 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(4-methylphenyl)-3,4,6,7,9,10 hexahydroacridine-1,8-dione 2(Scheme 1).

    2. Materials and Methods

    All the chemicals were purchased from SD Fine ChemLimited andThomas Baker, used as received without furtherpurification. Melting point was determined on Labstar melt-ing apparatus. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer, FTIR-1600 spectrophotometer and expressed in cm−1(KBr). 1H NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance(300MHz) spectrometer in DMSO-d6 using TMS as theinternal standard. Elemental analysis was performed on aEURO-EA analyzer.

    2.2. X-Ray Analysis. A summary of the crystallographic datais given in Table 1. The X-ray intensity data of a well-definedcrystal for 1 and 2 (0.30 × 0.20 × 0.10mm) were collectedat room temperature (293K) by using a CCD area-detectordiffractometer (X’calibur system, Oxford diffraction, 2010)which is equipped with graphite monochromated MoK𝛼radiation (𝜆 = 0.71073 Å). The cell dimensions weredetermined by the least-squares fit of angular settings of 14203(1) and 11474 (2) reflections in the 𝜃 range 3.48 to 29.04∘ (1)and 3.99 to 23.48∘ (2), respectively. Data were corrected forLorentz, polarization, and absorption factors.

    The structure elucidation and full-matrix least-squaresrefinement were carried out by using SHELXL97 software[11].The geometry of themolecule is determined by PLATON[12]. All the hydrogen atoms were geometrically fixed andallowed to ride on the corresponding non-H atoms with C-H distances of 0.93–0.98 Å and with 𝑈iso(H) = 1.2𝑈eq(C),

    except for the methyl groups where 𝑈iso(H) = 1.5𝑈eq(C).Multiscan absorption correction was employed (with 𝑇min= 0.65162 (1); 0.90012 (2) and 𝑇max = 1.00000 (for both1 and 2, resp.)) [13]. Atomic scattering factors were takenfrom International Tables for X-Ray Crystallography (1992,Vol. C, Tables 4.2.6.8 and 6.1.1.4). The crystallographic dataare summarized in Table 1. CCDC-946763 (1) and CCDC-954009 (2) contain the supplementary crystallographic datafor both the structures.

    3. Results and Discussion

    Figures 1 and 2 show the perspective view of molecules1 and 2, respectively [14]. Table 2 presents selected geo-metrical parameters for both the structures. The asym-metric unit of compound 1 comprises two crystallograph-ically independent molecules, A and B (Figure 2). Bondlengths and angles are normal and correspond to thoseobserved in some related structures [15, 16]. The centralring (C9/C10/C11/N12/C13/C14) of the acridinedione moietyadopts a distorted boat conformation [molecule A: ΔCs(C9A–C12A) = 2.426 and ΔCs (C10A–C11A) = 7.72; molecule

    B: ΔCs (C9B–C12B) = 1.014 and ΔCs (C10B–C11B) = 11.97].The benzene ring is held almost at right angles to the 1,4-DHPring (dihedral angles for molecules A and B being 87.32(13)∘and 86.49(12)∘, resp.). A comparison of 1,4-DHP ring is pre-sented in Table 3. Both the cyclohexanes exist in sofa confor-mations (molecule A: ΔCs (C3A) = 4.97; ΔCs (C6A) = 9.625;molecule B: ΔCs (C3B) = 6.917; ΔCs (C6B) = 10.82)) [17].

    In molecule 2, the central ring (C9/C10/C11/N12/C13/C14) of the acridinedione moiety adopts a boat conforma-tion (ΔCs (C9–C12) = 2.22 and ΔCs (C10-C11) = 3.757).The cyclohexane comprising atoms (C5/C6/C7/C8/C14/C13)adopts half chair conformation (ΔC

    2(C13-C14) = 9.63) while

    the other one exists in sofa conformation (ΔCs (C10–C3)= 1.85) [17]. The dihedral angle between the 1,4-DHP ringand the phenyl ring (C19–C24) is 89.15(9)∘, which shows thatthe benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the central 1,4-dihydropyridine ring.The bond lengths of C11–N12 and C13–N12 are 1.354(3) ́Å and 1.376(3) ́Å, respectively, shorter thanthe normal C–N bond length of 1.47 ́Å.

    Packing of molecules 1 and 2 in the unit cell is shownin Figure 3. The crystal packing is stabilized by the presenceof few intermolecular N–H⋅ ⋅ ⋅O and C–H⋅ ⋅ ⋅O interactions
