The pyranyl ring of the title compound, C22H19NO3, adopts a flattened-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between naphthalene and phenyl rings is 78.3 (1)°The molecule also features an intramolecular N-H
Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond. Adjacent molecules are linked by an intermolecular N-H
Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond, forming a zigzag chain that runs along the c axis.
2-Naphthol (1.4 g, 10 mmol), benzaldehyde (1.1 g, 10 mmol), ethyl 2-cyanoacetate (1.0 g, 10 mmol) and piperidine (1 ml) were dissolved in ethanol (30 ml). The solution was heated for 5 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and and the residue recrystallized from dichloromethane/methanol (1:1/v:v) to give yellow crystals in 80% yield; m.p. 436–437 K.
In the absence of significant anomalous scattering Friedel pairs were merged prior to refinement and the absolute configuration of the molecule was not refined. Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H 0.95–1.00 Å and Uiso(H) 1.2–1.5Ueq(C)], and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation. The amino H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with an N–H distance restraint of 0.88 (1) Å; their isotropic temperature factures were refined.

2-Naphthol, substituted benzaldehydes and ethyl 2-cyanoacetate react in the presence of a catalyst to form the ethyl 3-amino-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylates; the compounds possess a primary amine group. The crystal structures of several 1-aryl derivatives have been reported (Klokol et al., 1987; Shi et al., 2003a; Shi et al., 2003b; Wang et al., 2003; Zhuang et al., 2003a; Zhuang et al., 2003b). Interestingly, the crystal structure of the unsubstituted 1-phenyl compound was not known, and its structure is reported here. The title compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1) exhibits a pyranyl ring in a flattened boat conformation. The molecule also features an intramolecular N–H···Ocarbonyl bond. Adjacent molecules are linked by an intermolecular N—H···Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond to furnish a zigzag chain that runs along the c-axis.
