Abstract
The molecule of the title compound, C24H20N2O2, lies on a twofold rotation axis that relates one 2-(N-methylformamido)naphthyl unit to the other. The N-methylformamido substituent is twisted by 54.9 (1)° with respect to the naphthalene fused-ring system; the two fused-ring systems are themselves twisted by 70.3 (1)°.

Comment
We report here the methylation of commercially available racemic 2,2'-diamino-1,1'-binaphthyl to yield 2,2'-bis(methylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl. The compound should react with triethyl orthoformate to yield an imidzolium salt. The reaction with ethyl formate, an unintended similar-sounding reagent, gave 2,2'-bis(N-methyformido)-1,1'-binaphthyl (Scheme I) instead.
The C24H20N2O2 molecules lies on a twofold rotation axis that relates one N-methylformamido)-1-naphthyl moiety to the other (Fig. 1). The N-methylformamido substituent is twisted by 54.9 (1) ° with respect to the naphathalene fused-ring; the two fused-rings are themselves twisted by 70.3 (1) °.
Experimental
2,2'-Bis(methylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl was prepared by treatment of racemic 2,2'-diamino-1,1'-binaphthyl (purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company) with ethyl chloroformate in benzene in the presence of pyridine, followed by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran (Miyano et al., 1984). An ethyl formate solution (10 ml) of 2,2'-bis(methylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (156 mg, 0.50 mmol) was heated at 327 K for 10 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/petroleum ether 10/1) to give the title compound (158 mg, 86%) as a white solid. Crystals were obtained upon recrystallized from a dichloromethane-hexane mixture.
Refinement
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.95–0.98 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). In the absence of heavy atoms, 1000 Friedel pairs were merged.
