Crystal structure of 3-amino-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H14N2O2, the hydroxybenzene ring is almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the naphthalene ring system, making a dihedral angle of 85.56 (4)°. The 4H-pyran ring fused with the naphthalene ring system has a flattened boat conformation. In the crystal, O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a supramolecular layer in the bc plane; N—H...π interactions also contribute to this arrangement. The layers are linked by weak by C—H...π and π–π [inter-centroid separation = 3.8713 (7) Å] interactions.
