2-Hydroxy-6-[(1-Naphthylamino)Methylene]-Cyclohexa-2,4-Dien-1-One

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C<inf>17</inf>H<inf>13</inf>O <inf>2</inf>, is nearly planar and exists in the keto-amine (N-H ⋯ O) tautomeric form, with a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of 2.576 (2) Å between the O and N atoms. The molecules are linked by O-H ⋯ O hydrogen bonds to form dimers, and are further linked by C-H ⋯ π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network. © 2005 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
