The title compound, C31H25N3, was synthesized from 6,4',4''-trimethyl-2,4-bis(N-phenylamino)quinoline and is the first structural example containing a phenyl and phenylamino fragment attached to a fused dibenzo[1,6]naphthyridine moiety. The fused tetracyclic ring system is essentially planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.08 (3) Å]. The phenyl ring and the phenylamino group are inclined by 82.68 (6) and 35.31 (5)°, respectively, to the mean plane of the fused tetracyclic ring system. A weak intramolecular N-H
(arene) interaction may in part influence the conformation of the molecule. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C-H
N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers. Additional stabilization is provided by weak C-H
and
-
stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.834 (2) and 3.898 (1) Å].
The synthesis follows the procedure of Manoj & Rajendra Prasad (2009). Preparation of 6,4',4''-Trimethyl-2,4-bis-(N-phenylamino)quinoline: A mixture of appropriate 2,4-dichloro-6-methylquinoline (0.010 mol) and p-toluidine (0.010 mol) was heated at 433K for half an hour. The product obtained was washed with water, dried and purified by column chromatography over silica gel and eluted with ethyl acetate : methanol mixture (95 : 5) to yield a white solid. The product was recrytallized from methanol. Preparation of 2,9,4'-Trimethyl-7-phenyl-6-(N-phenylamino) dibenzo[b,h][1,6] naphthyridine: An mixture of 6,4',4''-trimethyl-2,4-bis-(N-phenylamino) quinoline (0.0010 mol) and benzoic acid (0.0011 mol) was added to polyphosphoric acid (3 g of P2O5 in 1.5 mL of H3PO4) and kept at 323-328 K for 5 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water and neutralised with saturated NaHCO3 solution to remove the excess benzoic acid. The precipitate was filtered, dried and purified by column chromatography over silica gel using petroleum ether : ethyl acetate (99 : 1) mixture to obtain yellow solid. The yellow solid was dissolved in ethylacetate and left to crystallize at 277K for about 6 months. Only few crystals were obtained and the best available was used for the X-ray structure analysis.
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding atoms: C—H =0.93 Å H-aromatic, C—H = 0.96 Å H-methyl, and N—H = 0.86 Å, with Uiso = k×Ueq(parent C or N-atom), where k = 1.5 for methyl H-atoms, and = 1.2 for all other H-atoms. The low percentage of data used (because of low theta cut-off) may affect the precision of the structure.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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. |

The crystal structures of number of differently substituted naphthyridine derivatives have already been reported (e.g. Peng et al. 2009) but among those only few are dibenzo[1,6] naphthyridine compounds (e.g. Sivakumar et al. 2003; Seebacher et al., 2010). [1,6]Naphthyridine compounds are known to have biological activities (Ruchelman et al. 2005; Hinschberger et al. 2003; Feng et al., 2008). Dibenzo[1,6]naphthyridines are reported to have potent Topomerase I targeting, cytotoxic (Ruchelman et al., 2003) and are also proven anti-tumour agents. A series of [1,6] naphthyridine compounds were shown to exhibit potent activity against human cytomegalovirus (Bedard et al. , 2000). We are focused on preparing heterocyclic naphthyridine derivatives with potential biological properties. The crystal structure of the title compound is presented herein.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1 The fused tetracyclic ring system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.08 (3)Å) as was reported for a previously determined structure (Vennila et al., 2010). The phenyl ring and the phenyl amino group are inclined by 82.68 (6)° and 35.31 (5)°, respectively to the mean plane of the fused tetracyclic ring system. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are in the normal ranges. In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C-H···N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers. Additional stabilization is provided by weak C-H···π and π–π stacking interactions.
