Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N-[(2-hy-droxy-naphthalen-1-yl)(3-methyl-phen-yl)meth-yl]acetamide.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C₂₀H₁₉NO₂, is of inter-est as a precursor to biologically active substituted quinolines and related compounds. This compound crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between mean planes of the methyl-phenyl ring and the naphthalene ring system are 78.32 (6) and 84.70 (6)° in mol-ecules A and B, respectively. In the crystal, the anti-ferroelectric packing of mol-ecules A and B is of an ABBAABB type along the b-axis direction. The crystal structure features N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into infinite chains propagating along the b-axis direction.
