Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3,4-dihydro-2-(2,4-dioxo-6-methylpyran-3-ylidene)-4-(4-pyridin-4-yl)-1,5-benzodiazepine

The title compound, C(20)H(17)N(3)O(3) [systematic name: 2-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo­pyran-3-yl­idene)-4-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,3,4,5-tetra­hydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine], is built up from a benzodiazepine ring system linked to pyridyl and pendant di­hydro­pyran rings, where the benzene and pyridyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 43.36 (6)°. The pendant di­hydro­pyran ring is rotationally disordered in a 90.899 (3):0.101 (3) ratio with the orientation of each component largely determined by intra­molecular N—H(Diazp)⋯O(Dhydp) (Diazp = diazepine and Dhydp = di­hydro­pyran) hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of weak inter­molecular N—H(Diazp)⋯O(Dhydp) hydrogen bonds, forming inversion-related dimers with R (2) (2)(26) ring motifs. The dimers are further connected along the b-axis direction by π–π stacking inter­actions between the pendant di­hydro­pyran and pyridyl rings with centroid–centroid distances of 3.833 (3) Å and a dihedral angle of 14.51 (2)°. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (50.1%), H⋯C/C⋯H (17.7%), H⋯O/O⋯H (16.8%), C⋯C (7.7%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (5.3%) inter­actions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing.
