“…These contacts account for 13.0% and are characterized by two symmetrical peaks with d i + d e = 1.8 Å ; this reveals the presence of strong OÁ Á ÁH contacts that are characteristic of C-HÁ Á ÁO and O-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds. (Mosslemin et al, 2007), N-[(2hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)(4-methylphenyl)methyl]acetamide (Khanapure et al, 2015) and N-[(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)(3nitrophenyl)methyl]acetamide (NizamMohideen et al, 2009). Three of these compounds involve N-[(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl) (Bazgir et al, 2006;Mosslemin et al, 2007;Khanapure et al, 2015); in these analogues, the naphthalene ring system is inclined to the benzene ring by 81.54, 82.10 and 82.50 respectively, but in the hydroxy-1-naphthyl compound (NizamMohideen et al, 2009), the dihedral angle is 81.9 , compared with 78.32 (6) and 84.70 (6) in molecules A and B of the title compound.…”
