Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₅H₁₅ClN₂O₂, the pyridine ring is inclined at angles of 6.89 (7), 4.24 (9) and 66.98 (4)° with respect to the naphthalene, chlorophenyl and nitrophenyl rings, respectively. The two substituent aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 71.1 (1)° with one another. C-H and - stacking are present in the crystal structure; the - stacking [centroid-centroid distance between the pyridyl rings of adjacent molecules= 3.7838 (11) Å] links the molecules into dimers, while the C-HCg type -ring interactons link the molecules into a chain structure along c.
