(E)-(2,5-Difluoro-benz-yl)[(2-eth-oxy-naphthalen-1-yl)methyl-idene]amine

Abstract

In the title molecule, C20H17F2NO, which adopts an E conformation with respect to the imine C=N double bond, the mean planes of the naphthalene ring system and the difluorophenyl ring form a dihedral angle of 85.82 (7)degrees. An intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, weak C-H center dot center dot center dot F hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zigzag chains along [010].
