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)°.
The title compound was prepared by the reaction of N-arylidenenaphthalen-2-amine (0.62 g, 2 mmol) and phenylacetaldehyde (0.24 g, 2 mmol) in the presence of iodine (0.05 g) in THF at 340 K for 5 h (yield 72%; m.p. 478–480 K). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a DMF solution.
Elemental analysis calculated: C 73.18, H 3.93, N, 3.41%; found: C 73.25, H 3.88, N 3.20%. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 7.38 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 2H, ArH), 7.39 (s, 5H, ArH), 7.52 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 2H, ArH), 7.74–7.76 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.99 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 1H, ArH), 8.09–8.11 (m, 1H, ArH), 8.17 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 1H, ArH), 9.19 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H, ArH), 9.21 (s, 1H, ArH); IR (cm−1): 3056(ArH), 1678(C=N), 1603, 1584, 1566, 1487, 1472, 1431(phenyl ring).
The H atoms were calculated geometrically (C—H = 0.95 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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 > 2sigma(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. |

Quinoline and its derivatives represent an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocycles as they constitute useful intermediates in organic synthesis and are useful dyes (Brock et al., 1999). They are well known in the pharmaceutical industry and have been shown to possess a broad spectrum of biological activities including antiasthmatic activity (Sawada et al., 2004), anti-inflammatory activity (Fokialakis et al., 2002), antimalarial activity (Fossa et al., 2002) and anthelmintic agents (Sakata et al., 1988). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In (I), the benzoquinoline ring system (C1—C5/N1/C18—C25) makes dihedral angles of 61.1 (1) and 39.8 (1)° with the phenyl (C12—C17) and benzene (C6—C11) rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl (C12—C17) and benzene (C6—C11) rings is 57.6 (1)°. There is no intermolecular hydrogen bond in the crystal.
