Comment

Schiff bases often exhibit various biological activities and in many cases were shown to have antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antitoxic properties (Lozier et al., 1975). Schiff bases have also been used as versatile ligands in coordination chemistry (Kargar et al., 2009; Yeap et al., 2009). There are two types of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in Schiff bases, namely N—H···O in keto (NH) (Hökelek et al., 2000) and N···H—O in enol (OH) (Odabaşoǧlu et al., 2005) tautomeric forms. Our investigations shows that in the title compound is described as an intermediate state between NH and OH tautomers. An ORTEP-3 (Farrugia, 1997) plot of the molecule of (I) is shown in Fig.1. The C2—O1 [1.331 (2) Å] and C11—N1 [1.299 (2) Å] bond lengths are intermediate between the single and double C—O (1.362 and 1.222 Å, respectively) and C—N bond lengths (1.339 and 1.279 Å, respectively) (Allen et al., 1987). The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond. It is a well known fact that H atoms participating in intramolecular hydrogen bonds in Schiff bases are rather mobile. The molecule can be regarded as having an intermediate state between its canonical OH and NH forms, and therefore the O1—H1 bond [1.10 (3) Å] remains somewhat longer than its expected value (Karabıyık et al., 2007). Similar results were observed for 2-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)iminomethyl]-4- nitrophenol (Kılıç et al., 2009). The molecule of the title compound is not planar, with a dihedral angle of 37.44 (5)° between naphthalene and benzene rings.

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by refluxing a mixture of a solution containing 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (172 mg, 0,0986 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) and a solution containing 2-methyl-3-nitroaniline (15 mg, 0,0986 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h under reflux. Single crystals of the title compound for x-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution (Yield 68%; m.p. 428–432 K).

Refinement

H atoms bonded to C were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(Cmethyl). The H atom bonded to O was freely refined.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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.
