Comment top

Benzopyrans and their derivatives are important in natural and synthetic organic chemistry owing to their biological and pharmacological properties (Morianka & Takahashi, 1977), such as antisterility (Brooks, 1998) and anticancer activities (Hyana & Saimoto, 1987). In addition, polyfunctionalized benzopyrans constitute the structural unit of a number of natural products and, because of the inherent reactivity of the inbuilt pyran ring, these are versatile synthons (Hatakeyama et al., 1988). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

The molecular structure of (I), shown in Fig. 1, exhibits weak intramolecular C—H···π interactions (Fig.2, Table 2), which generate a three-dimensional network.

Experimental top

Compound (I) was prepared by the reaction of 1-naphthol (5 mmol) with malononitrile (5 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (5 mmol) in ethanol (4 ml) using piperidine as catalyst under microwave irradiation. Pure compound (I) was obtained by recrystallization from ethanol (m.p. 464–466 K). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 8.23 (d, 1H), 7.88 (d, 1H), 7.55–7.65 (m, 3H), 7.16 (d, 2H), 7.08–7.10 (m, 3H), 6.87 (d, 2H), 4.84 (s, 1H), 3.71(s, 3H).

Refinement top

The N-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely. The C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Cg1 is the centroid of atoms O2/C11/C10/C8/C21/C12 ring.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
