Abstract: The title compound, C₂₅H₁₆BrN, was synthesized by the reaction of N-arylidenenaphthalen-2-amine and phenylacetaldehyde in the presence of iodine. In the molecular structure, the benzoquinoline ring system makes dihedral angles of 61.1 (1) and 39.8 (1)°, respectively, with the phenyl and bromophenyl rings. The dihedral angle between these rings is 57.6 (1)°.
