In the title compound, C17H14N2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring system is 11.0 (3)°. The azo group adopts an anti configuration and an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond exists. Mol­ecules are packed by ππ inter­actions between adjacent mol­ecule (closest approach between centroids of benzene and naphthalene rings of 3.501 Å).

Comment top

Azo compounds are very important in the fields of dyes, pigments and advanced materials (Lee et al., 2004; Oueslati et al., 2004). Azo dyes are synthetic colours that contain an azo group, as part of the structure. Azo groups do not occur naturally. Many azo compounds have been synthesized by the diazotization and diazo coupling reaction (Wang et al., 2003). The title compound (I) was obtained through the diazotization of 4-methylaniline followed by a coupling reaction with 2-naphthol.

The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in figure 1, where the molecule adopts an anti configuration with the two aryl groups residing on the opposite sides of azo group. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring is 11.0 (3)°. An intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond exists in each molecule (Table 1). Interestingly, the hydrogen atom in the OH group has transfer to the N atom in the azo group to form a dipolar ion; the difference Fourier map indicated that the hydrogen site location is closer to nitrogen atom of the azo group. The molecules are packed by the π···π interactions with the closest approach between centroids of aromatic rings of 3.501Å (symmetry equivalent x, -y + 1, z - 1/2).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by a similar method of other aromatic azo compounds(Wang et al., 2003). Single crystals of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation from a petroleum ether-ethyl acetate (2:1 v/v) solution system.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically at distances of 0.93 (CH), and 0.96Å (CH3) from the parent C atoms, a riding model was used during the refinement process. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.2Ueq of the carrier atom, except for methyl H atoms that were constrained to 1.5Ueq of the C atom.

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.
