In the title compound, C21H20N2O3, the naphthalimide unit is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 15 non-H atoms = 0.059 Å). The carboximide N atom and the five C atoms of the 2-methylprop-2-enoyl substituent also lie in a plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å), which subtends an angle of 84.34 (7)° to the naphthalamide plane. This orients the =CH2 group of the vinyl fragment towards the naphthalimide rings, giving the molecule an extended configuration. The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and there is evidence for some delocalization between the naphthalene and piperidine units, the C-Npip bond length being 1.404 (4) Å. In the crystal structure,
-
contacts with centroid-centroid distances of 3.5351 (18) and 3.7794 (18) Å supported by C-H
O hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules in a head-to-tail fashion, forming dimers. These are further stabilized by other C-H
O contacts of varying strength, which stack the molecules down the b axis.
