Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C14H11NO3, the naphthalimide ring system is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation 0.0139 Å). In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers forming R 2 2(14) ring motifs. π–π contacts between the naphthalimide rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.648 (3), 3.783 (3), 3.635 (3), 3.722 (3) and 3.755 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

Comment

As part of our ongoing studies on N-substituted 1,8-naphthalimides (Prezhdo et al., 2007), we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Rings A (N/C3-C5/C10/C11), B (C5-C10) and C (C9-C14) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at dihedral angles of A/B = 1.79 (3), A/C = 1.14 (3) and B/C = 1.00 (3) °. So, they are nearly coplanar. Intramolecular C-H···O interaction (Table 1) results in the formation of a five-membered ring D (O2/N/C2/C3/H2A), having envelope conformation, with atom H2A displaced by -0.302 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers forming R22(14) ring motifs (Fig. 2) (Bernstein et al., 1996), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The π–π contacts between the naphthalimide rings, Cg1—Cg1i, Cg1—Cg2i, Cg1—Cg3ii, Cg2—Cg3ii and Cg3—Cg3ii [symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z, (ii) 2 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z, where Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are centroids of the rings A (N/C3-C5/C10/C11), B (C5-C10) and C (C9-C14), respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.648 (3), 3.783 (3), 3.635 (3), 3.722 (3) and 3.755 (3) Å, respectively.

Experimental

For the preparation of the title compound, 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (1.98 g, 0.01 mol) and 2-aminoethanol (0.02 mol) were mixed with acetic acid (50 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 8 h, and then poured into cold water. The resulting solids were filtered off. The solid products were boiled with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (10%, 50 ml) for 20 min, and the insoluble solid residues were dried in vacuo. Column chromatography on aluminium oxide with the C6H6 eluent gave light-brown solution. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an acetone solution (yield; 96%, m.p. 413 K).

Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with O-H = 0.82 Å (for OH) and C-H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å for aromatic and methylene H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C,O), where x = 1.5 for OH H and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
