The title molecule, C24H15NO4, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 2). For both molecules, the two amide groups are not coplanar, as the dihedral angles of the respective NCO groups are similar at 50.37 (14) and 51.22 (13)°. However, the orientations of the substituent phenyl rings with the central naphthalene system are significantly different for the two molecules; for one molecule, these dihedral angles are 80.29 (3) and 80.95 (4)°, while for the second molecule they are 86.63 (3) and 72.82 (4)°. The crystal packing shows the molecules to be linked by weak C—HO interactions.

The title compound, C17H11NO3, was an intermediate synthesized during bisacylation of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone with benzoyl chloride. A mixture of block- and needle-shaped crystals were obtained after column chromatography. The block-shaped crystals were identified as the imide and the needles were the title amide. The naphthoquinone scaffold is roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.047 Å for the C atoms). The N—H and C=O bonds of the amide group are anti to each other. A dihedral angle between the naphthoquinone ring system and the amide group of 3.56 (3)°, accompanied by a dihedral angle between the amide group and the phenyl group of 9.51 (3)°, makes the naphthoquinone ring essentially coplanar with the phenyl ring [dihedral angle = 7.12 (1)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a weak N—HO hydrogen bond and by two weak C—HO interactions leading to the formation of zigzag chains along [010].
