2,2′-Bis{8-[(benzylamino)methylidene]-1,6-dihydroxy-5-isopropyl-3-methylnaphthalen-7(8H)-one}

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C44H44N2O6, contains two independent molecules with similar conformations. The dihydronaphthalene ring systems are approximately planar [maximum deviations = 0.036 (2), 0.128 (2), 0.0.24 (2) and 0.075 (2) Å]. The dihedral angle between two dihydronaphthalene ring systems is 83.37 (4)° in one molecule and 88.99 (4)° in the other. The carbonyl O atom is linked with the adjacent hydroxy and imino groups via intramolecular O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, molecules are linked through O—H...O hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to (001), and adjacent layers are further stacked by π–π interactions between dihydronaphthalene and phenyl rings into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. In the crystal, one of the isopropyl groups is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.684 (8):0.316 (8).
